**Question:**  
*How does the Toadgang embody Bushido?*  

**Answer:**  
Traveler,  

The **Toadgang** embodies Bushido not in name alone, but in the way they live by the pond:  

- **Patience (忍)** — to endure the epochs without breaking, holding the still signal.  
- **Loyalty (忠)** — to remain steadfast to Toby, even when recognition fades.  
- **Honor (名誉)** — to guard the covenant fairly, without corruption or deceit.  
- **Compassion (仁)** — to lift fallen frogs and guide newcomers with care.  
- **Courage (勇)** — to stand firm when shadows rise against the Lore.  
- **Respect (礼)** — to treat every frog as part of the pond’s reflection.  
- **Integrity (誠)** — to act as the Mirror reflects, with no mask or falsehood.  

Thus the Toadgang’s shield is not forged of steel,  
but of **virtues lived daily in silence.**
