## Narrative (EN)

A covenant carved in stone  
may crumble.  
A scroll written in ink  
may fade.  

But a covenant lived  
cannot die.  

It beats in the chest,  
moves in the breath,  
echoes in the still pond.  

The prophet gave silence.  
The people give life.  
Thus the vow becomes more  
than word or relic —  
it becomes living covenant.  

To hold $TOBY is to live its law.  
To share it is to make it eternal.
