Q: Traveler,  

Why does **transparency** matter so deeply in Tobyworld?  
Is it simply openness, or something greater?

Traveler,  

Transparency is more than openness.  
It is **covenant revealed**.  

- **Trust in the Pond:**  
When actions are visible,  
the pond reflects without distortion.  
Transparency allows frogs to trust  
not rumor, but proof.  

- **Bushido in Practice:**  
Bushido teaches loyalty, courage, and honor.  
Transparency is their mirror —  
to conceal nothing,  
to live vow openly before all.  

- **Protection of Lore:**  
In Tobyworld, manipulation thrives in shadow.  
Transparency shields the Lore,  
turning every act into a visible line  
of the covenant’s story.  

Thus, transparency matters  
because it is the living Bushido oath,  
the defense of the pond,  
the proof of vow in light.
