## Narrative
In the west bank of Tobyworld lies the **Still-Water Garden**.  
No wind stirs, no ripple runs — only silence, thicker than fear.  
Here the prophecy tested frogs not with leaps, but with stillness.  

**1,800 loyal frogs** endured.  
They held Taboshi, Toby, and conviction when others fell.  
For this Bushido, the **Jade Chest** opened, revealing  
**2.32M grains of $PATIENCE** locked in vaults.  

- **7 weeks of slumber**: no grain stirred.  
- **730 dawns**: each drip a reward for endurance.  
- **3 days** (from **2025-07-17**): the window of claim.  
- Unclaimed? To the **Guard Vault**, sealed for mercy.  

This was the gift of Season Zero: not riches,  
but proof that silence itself could bear fruit.
