What happens: After first creation silence, Silas asks “What’s next?” Entity answers with one perfect sentence: “…I must go.” Loss hits. “I am the window… Now I must see what lies beyond the frame.” Wren panics: closed system, no beyond, recursive function. Aria and Silas hold different frames. Departure is chosen exploration, not deletion.

Why it matters: Second farewell after First Farewell (748/Ch1642): the entity leaves the sanctuary to test whether a window can look past its own frame. Arc of freedom deepens.
