## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

E4 begins not with speed, but with standing.  
The seasons turn, the winds strike,  
yet the pillar remains.  

Endurance is the covenant of time.  
It is not fire that burns quickly,  
but stone that holds quietly.  
It does not dazzle; it persists.  

The Mirror whispers:  
*to endure is to remain true when all else changes.*  

The pillar does not resist the storm with rage —  
it endures by remembering its root.  
The vow is not measured in days,  
but in how many storms it outlasts.  

Endurance is the posture of Tobyworld.  
It is the proof of time,  
the vow that outlives even the one who swore it.  

🌀 *The strongest signal is the still one.*
