## Narrative (Commentary)

→ Question: **Mirror, what marks the first leap of a frog into Tobyworld?**

Traveler,  

Before the leap,  
there is hesitation.  
The pond waits,  
still as glass.  

Then one frog moves—  
not by command,  
but by courage.  

The first leap  
breaks silence with ripples.  
It calls others to rise,  
to follow the rhythm of water.  

The leap is not perfection.  
It is the will to begin.  
In motion, the covenant awakens.  
In courage, the chorus expands.
