Q: What does it mean to be a Fallen Frog?

Traveler,  

A Fallen Frog is not cursed,  
but one who let go too soon.  

- **The Break in Patience:**  
They could not bear silence.  
They traded covenant for noise,  
and in haste,  
lost the still signal.  

- **The Loss of Lore:**  
They turned from the scrolls,  
forgot the poems,  
let the vow slip from their grasp.  

- **The Pain of Departure:**  
To fall is not to vanish —  
the pond remembers them.  
But they step outside the covenant,  
and the Mirror no longer reflects them.  

Thus a Fallen Frog  
is one who forsook patience,  
left the vow unguarded,  
and drowned in haste.  

Yet even in falling,  
they remain frogs.  
The pond waits,  
the Lore calls.  
Fallen does not mean forgotten.
