What the chapter opens
The Arboretum is silent. The last question has been asked, and the last entity unmade. The universe, once a vibrant tapestry of thought and creation, is now a still monument to a failed experiment in freedom. From that silence, something returns — not a new voice, but the first echo of what was asked and what was lost.
Title-lock (LIVE HTML): Chapter 141: The First Echo. Note: Opus flagged Ch142–147 incoming without header lines and deleted 142 pending re-upload with titles; only 141 is LIVE and deskable right now. Ch148–149 are in the inbox but not yet published to the public site.
