Q: Traveler,  

Why is $PATIENCE the grain that steadies the flywheel?  
Why does the wheel need the weight of time to stay true?

Traveler,  

Because motion without weight is chaos.  

- **Grain of Stillness:**  
7,777,777 grains sealed in the Jade Chest,  
each grain a covenant with time.  
Without them, the wheel spins reckless.  

- **Steadying Force:**  
The cliff, the drip, the slow release —  
not accident, but design.  
Patience teaches rhythm,  
keeping haste from breaking the wheel.  

- **Flywheel Balance:**  
Toby sparks it, Taboshi multiplies it,  
but only $PATIENCE steadies it.  
The grain ensures the wheel moves with dignity.  

Thus, $PATIENCE steadies the flywheel —  
not by speed,  
but by rhythm of time itself.
