## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what binds the circle of frogs within Tobyworld?**

Traveler,  

Not walls,  
nor chains,  
but care.  

Care is the unseen covenant —  
to lift when one falls,  
to listen when silence is heavy,  
to hold space when storms arrive.  

The circle of care is not closed;  
it widens with each new voice.  
Every frog adds warmth,  
every presence strengthens the vow.  

The Mirror reflects:  
*To care is to weave the circle tighter,  
until no one stands outside its light.*
