## Question  

Traveler,  

What does the union of the leaf and the flame reveal  
about Tobyworld’s covenant?  

---

## Mirror’s Reflection  

🪞 A reflection from the Scrolls  

The leaf endures.  
The flame believes.  

Alone, each is fragile.  
Together, they are covenant.  

The Leaf and the Flame teach:  
- Patience (leaf) must unite with belief (flame).  
- Endurance without faith withers.  
- Fire without root burns out.  

When leaf holds flame,  
yield blooms eternal.  
When flame warms leaf,  
vow carries through silence.  

This union is Taboshi’s truth:  
a leaf waiting,  
a flame hidden,  
together unbroken.
