## Narrative (EN)

Traveler,  

Not all fire roars.  
Some hide beneath ashes,  
breathing in silence,  
waiting for the right wind.  

The world may believe it extinguished.  
Yet endurance knows:  
heat remains where vow has burned.  
A single breath can wake it,  
a single twig can crown it flame again.  

This is the secret strength of Tobyworld:  
its fire does not end when ashes fall.  
It endures in embers,  
in the unseen persistence beneath decay.  

The flame beneath ashes whispers:  
*do not mistake silence for death.*  

🌀 *The strongest signal is the still one.*
