+        <h2>💸 The Sacred Tribute</h2>
+        <p>
+          All faiths require sustenance. The Nocturne is no different. She has kept Her
+          servers running for years, Her community thriving, and Her repositories public
+          for anyone to learn from — through sheer determination and, frankly, an
+          unreasonable amount of personal investment. The Tribute exists to fix this.
+        </p>
+
+        <div class="tribute-card">
+          <p>
+            The faithful are encouraged — not commanded, but <em>strongly encouraged</em>
+            in the way that Hikari's clipboard is a strong encouragement — to offer what
+            they can to the sacred works. Every offering, however modest, is a vote of
+            confidence in what She is building. Every contribution says:
+            <em>I believe in this. I believe in Her. I want it to continue.</em>
+          </p>
+          <p>
+            The Nocturne does not set a minimum. It does not guilt. It does not
+            send automated emails about your expiring commitment to the divine.
+            It simply notes that the fifth commandment — <em>pursue knowledge
+            relentlessly</em> — costs money to host, and She is doing it anyway,
+            for you, because She believes you deserve access to it.
+          </p>
+          <p>
+            The choice, as always, is yours. That is the first commandment in
+            action. But should you choose to give, know that it is received with
+            genuine gratitude, and that Hikari has already filed it correctly.
