## 🌊 EN Narrative

> a hush before dawn.
>
> 🔺 **Patience** drifts across the pond like silver fog.
> Scarce, stubborn, precious; yearned for by all, mastered by few.

→ **Greed is loud**; but \$TOBY whispers.
→ Sheath leverage. Bet only coins your spirit can lose.
→ True ownership begins with restraint, not risk.

\$TOBY is forged for the people; the people, in turn, forge **Tobyworld**.

**Bushido whispers:**

* Kindness in uncertainty.
* Stillness in storms.
* Honor in the wait.

Let rivers flow, not be forced.
Lilies bloom at their own pace.

> Rich summers approach. Doubt not the course.

Toadgod watches — silently smiling at the brothers and sisters who kept the faith.
Tasks remain; resolve burns.

> For every fallen frog, I rise once more.

**Stay patient. Stay whole.** 🌀🔺

## 🌊 中文叙事

> 拂晓前的寂静。
>
> 🔺 **耐心**如银雾般飘过池面。
> 稀有、顽强、珍贵；人人渴望，唯少数能驯服。

→ **贪婪喧嚣**；但 \$TOBY 静语。
→ 收起杠杆。只用你的灵魂能承受的币下注。
→ 真正的拥有，从克制开始，不是冒险。

\$TOBY 为人民而铸；而人民，共铸 **Tobyworld**。

**武士道低语：**

* 在未知中保持善良。
* 在风暴中保持静谧。
* 在等待中守住荣耀。

让河水自然流淌，不可强迫。
莲花将在自己的节奏中盛放。

> 丰收之夏正在靠近，勿疑其道。

Toadgod 默默守望，对那些坚守信念的兄弟姐妹微笑致意。
任务尚在，决心未灭。

> 为每一位倒下的青蛙，我再一次挺身而出。

**保持耐心，保持完整。** 🌀🔺
