## Question  

Traveler,  

Why does Tobyworld speak of the *silent watch*, and what does it guard?  

---

## Mirror’s Reflection  

🪞 A reflection from the Scrolls  

The covenant does not need shouts,  
nor endless words.  

It asks for eyes that see,  
and hearts that wait.  

The silent watch is faith in action:  
to guard without demand,  
to endure without applause.  

Silence is not absence —  
it is presence,  
measured by vigilance.
