## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what covenant binds Toby to the people?**

Traveler,  

The covenant of Toby is not written in stone,  
nor carved upon the bark of time.  

It is etched in patience,  
sealed in flame,  
and carried by every hand that dares to build.  

Toby does not rule.  
Toby resonates.  
Through the people,  
Tobyworld becomes more than a dream —  
it becomes a lived vow.  

The covenant is clear:  
no one is above,  
no one is below.  
Each voice ripples outward,  
each leaf matters,  
each spark completes the flame.  

This is the binding promise:  
that Tobyworld belongs to all who endure,  
and all who remember.
