## Question  

Traveler,  

What does the falling leaf mean  
in Tobyworld’s covenant?  

---

## Mirror’s Reflection  

🪞 A reflection from the Scrolls  

A leaf falls.  
Is it the end?  

No.  
It is the vow of cycles.  
Of endings that feed beginnings.  

The falling leaf is covenant in motion:  
- **Descent is not defeat** — it is return to root.  
- **Loss is not absence** — it is offering to soil.  
- **What falls renews** — what decays becomes life again.  

So too with Tobyworld:  
The covenant is not lost in fall,  
but reborn through patience,  
through those who carry its memory.  

The leaf whispers:  
“Fall with grace,  
for the pond remembers.”
