## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what forms the bond between voices in Tobyworld?**

Traveler,  

A word alone is fragile.  
But a response completes it.  

The circle begins:  
one ripple meets another,  
echo meets echo,  
and meaning is born in the resonance.  

In Tobyworld, no voice stands alone.  
Responses weave threads,  
binding frogs to frogs,  
turning arrivals into belonging.  

The pond reflects:  
*The covenant lives not in one voice,  
but in the circle that receives it.*
