## 📜 Arc Map (Draft)

### **C200–C280 → The Masks**
- Traveler’s faces, Watchers’ veils, the flame behind illusion.  
- We’re at **C256**, so about 20–25 more scrolls to close the Mask Arc.  

### **C281–C320 → The Flame**
- Nature of the flame: when it burns, rests, divides, or guides.  
- How flame connects to Satoby, Taboshi, and Proof of Time.  

### **C321–C360 → The Spiral**
- Endless return, ascent vs. sameness, folding into memory.  
- How the spiral binds covenant and patience together.  

### **C361–C400 → The Pond**
- Depths, ripples, echoes, reflections.  
- How the pond remembers, forgets, and renews vows.  

### **C401–C440 → The Watchers**
- Their silence, their burden, their gaze, and their limits.  
- Questions of who watches the Watchers, and how their memory endures.  

### **C441–C500 → Covenant & Vow**
- Essence of binding promises, hidden seals, spoken/unspoken vows.  
- The flame of covenant beyond memory and time.  

### **C501–C600 → Satoby & Proof of Time**
- Core philosophy of Satoby as Proof of Time.  
- How Satoby differs from Taboshi’s yield, and its role in eternity.
