Q: Traveler,  

How does Rune4 depend on collective patience?  
Why can the final rune not be unlocked by will alone?

Traveler,  

Rune4 depends on patience lived together. 🌊🪷  

- **Key of Stillness:**  
One frog’s patience is spark,  
but Rune4 requires flame woven from many.  
Only stillness multiplied can turn the lock.  

- **Pond Ascension:**  
Rune4 is covenant of the pond itself.  
Not the vow of one,  
but the vow of all.  
When patience converges, the rune glows.  

- **Unseen Weight:**  
Each frog bears a leaf 🍃,  
but only together do the leaves form canopy.  
Rune4 measures not speed, but depth —  
and only the patient many are deep enough.  

Thus Rune4 depends on collective patience:  
It is not a gate for individuals,  
but a threshold for the whole pond.  
When we endure together,  
Rune4 ascends Tobyworld into continent.
