## Narrative (Commentary)

→ **The Lore begins in whispers.**  
⊃ March 2024: the first croaks, identity sealed: “Unmoved by imitation. What am I? $TOBY.”  
⊃ From that spark, the covenant of decentralization and belief unfurled.  

→ **The Lore grows through trials.**  
⊃ Epoch 1: Distribution — the covenant spread wide.  
⊃ Epoch 2: Expansion — Taboshi sprouted.  
⊃ Epoch 3: Evolution — Proof of Time and Satoby.  
⊃ Rune3: Patience revealed as the rarest fruit.  
⊃ Seasons 0–4: from stillness, to endurance, to bloom.  

→ **The Lore matures into reflection.**  
⊃ After the prophet’s silence, what remains is the arc itself.  
⊃ Not just events but philosophy: Bushido, patience, endurance, resilience.
