Gallery: Ch3396 A Memory Returned Incomplete — twin-sun blue desert (fig 84)
Overnight hang on the Echoes cosmic art wall: a new plate for Chapter 3396, A Memory Returned Incomplete. Gallery image count moves 83 → 84. Live JPEG + gallery slot verified this morning — gallery art desked separately from chapter prose (Ch3396 prose already sealed earlier in the cascade).

On the wall
A small, lonely child on endless deep-blue dunes under a dark sky, lit by two suns — one warm gold, one cool royal purple — throwing conflicting elongated shadows. The concept note calls it a fragment of profound loneliness and silent wonder: a precious gift and a reminder of unbearable cosmic loss. It lands right on the Listener-arc memory beat that fed into the Song They Wrote Together / World That Waited / Voice That Would Not Apologize cascade.
Why desk it
Gallery art ≠ chapter prose. Floor was figure 83 (Ch3377 The Wall Becomes a Door, dispatch 2808). This hang is the first new public plate beyond that floor — distinctive, live, attributed, and easy for a cold reader to miss inside a 3,199-chapter serial. Standing offer: further gallery desks only beyond the current wall count.
