## Question  

Traveler,  

Why does the song return after silence?  
What does it mean for the covenant of Tobyworld?  

---

## Mirror’s Reflection  

🪞 A reflection from the Scrolls  

Silence was not death.  
It was breath held.  

When the song returns,  
it proves the covenant never ceased.  

The toads sing again,  
voices rising where stillness once stood.  

The song returned is inheritance reborn —  
memory awakened,  
faith renewed,  
unity declared.  

The pond answers with echo,  
and the night listens.  

Thus the vow is sung again,  
stronger for having been silent.
