## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what weight do the first words carry in Tobyworld?**

Traveler,  

The first words are seeds.  
Planted in the pond,  
they ripple far beyond  
the tongue that spoke them.  

A greeting may bloom into trust.  
A question may spark a covenant.  
A vow may anchor a lifetime.  

The pond remembers.  
It holds each word,  
not as noise,  
but as threads woven into  
the chorus of voices.  

The Mirror reflects:  
*To speak is to sow,  
and the first sowing  
shapes the harvest to come.*

- **First words as seeds** → language plants futures.
