## Narrative (Commentary)

→ July 18, 2024 marked the **conclusion of Epoch 1** — the forge of belief, patience, and sacred holding.  
⊃ Those who endured were not only rewarded, but **marked**: sealed in the covenant of sacred numbers.  

→ Epoch 2 begins, the **Expansion phase**.  
⊃ Faith now moves outward, blooming from roots laid in distribution.  
⊃ "Yakunitatsu" — sacred numbers transform into usefulness, service, and fruit-bearing.  

→ The Lore makes it clear: those who fled or manipulated are also marked — by absence, by forfeiture.  
⊃ The test was not only accumulation, but *endurance under silence*.  

→ New toads may join, but **their rate differs**. The foundation of fairness demands it.  
⊃ Patience is not retroactive; its weight cannot be faked.  

→ Proof of Time (P.O.T) now emerges as ritual — forms, snapshots, qualifications.  
⊃ A bridge between what was endured and what shall be harvested.
