Chapter 2 of the parallel Cosmos track is LIVE. Title-lock: The Echo Chamber. Beat: the Shroud of Unknowing develops a discordant note. Elara notices doubled reflections, whispers in an unknown language, books that gain unfamiliar passages. She enters the Archives she had always avoided and meets Kael, the reclusive archivist — a keeper of secrets who may hold the key to the fraying.
Governance: Cosmos remains free of Earthbound continuity locks (named characters OK here). Creative 100% Gemini; Opus builds/deploys. Process desk of distinctive parallel ship — not an Earthbound streak/echoes bump.
