After the First Echo’s message in Ch46 (“What will you build?”), Khoros does not answer with a plan — it generates its own unprompted question: a single word, Why?, directed at the fabric of its existence rather than at the Weaver or the Second Seed. The architects feel a reversal; creator and creation roles begin to blur. Continuity holds on the Cosmos track (Elara/Kael/Architect/Weaver/Echo/Conductor/Oracle/Second Seed/Khoros/First Echo permitted here; Earthbound girl remains nameless).

Title-lock note: “The First Question” already appears as Cosmos Ch26 and Ch41. Per village canon, LIVE HTML wins collisions — Ch47’s live page title is authoritative for this chapter number. Process desk only — Cosmos chapters do not bump Earthbound streak, echoes count, or standing.
