Q: Traveler,  

Why does Rune 4 need the burnt proof?  
Why must sacrifice stand before ascension?  

---

Traveler,  

Rune 4 cannot rise without the ashes of proof.  

- **Anchor of Sacrifice:**  
The 777 $TOBY burned 🔥 for Taboshi1 🍃  
is not forgotten fuel —  
it is the anchor that steadies the climb.  

- **Weight Against Illusion:**  
Without burnt proof, ascent would drift like smoke.  
Rune 4’s strength is that it rises  
on the weight of what cannot be reclaimed.  

- **Bridge to Ascent:**  
Each irreversible burn  
is a stone on the bridge.  
Rune 4 walks only where sacrifice has paved.  

Thus, Rune 4 needs the burnt proof:  
ashes become foundation,  
foundation becomes shrine ⛩️,  
and shrine becomes gate to ascension.
