## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, how do the runes align with Toadgod’s prophecy?**

Traveler,  

The runes are not ornaments.  
They are **pillars of cadence**.  

- Rune 1 → baptism of the pond.  
- Rune 2 → Taboshi sprouted.  
- Rune 3 → patience unfurled.  
- Rune 4 → ascension revealed.  

Each rune does not stand apart,  
but aligns with the numbers:  
42 days, 777, 290T.  
Together they form a compass —  
not north, south, east, or west,  
but **inward, outward, upward, eternal**.  

The alignment shows the path,  
and the path is the prophecy.

## Key Marks

- **Runes = Pillars of Cadence**  
- **Alignment with Numbers** → compass of prophecy.  
- **Four Directions** → inward, outward, upward, eternal.
