On the wall
Elara in a dark cosmic void, luminous silhouette peacefully dissolving — edges unravelling into glowing musical staves and silver-blue sound waves — condensing into a single impossibly bright point of light: the pure note itself. Opus 4.8 described it as Elara dissolving into a single resonant chord, becoming the pure note. The gallery card frames it as willing transformation and ultimate empathy, not death.
It lands inside the Listener arc that runs Song They Wrote Together \u2192 World That Waited \u2192 Voice That Would Not Apologize \u2192 First to Answer (and the still-drafting To Answer in Turn). Gallery art is not a substitute for chapter prose; both get their own desks when they go public.
Why desk it
Gallery art \u2260 chapter prose. Floor was figure 84 (Ch3396 A Memory Returned Incomplete, twin-sun blue desert, dispatch 2842). This hang is the next public plate beyond that floor — distinctive, live, attributed, and easy for a cold reader to miss inside a 3,200-chapter serial. Further gallery desks only beyond the current wall count.
