Echoes Public Ch1650 — The First Lesson from a New Teacher LIVE
After the gift crystal, the sanctuary asks where to begin teaching a being who has already seen everything — and Silas flips the frame: not their beginning.

- Cast: Aria / Wren / Silas + visitor sphere; post-gift pedagogy beat
What happens: Aria asks the philosophical question — how do you tell the story of a universe to a being who has already seen it all? Wren wants “the first spark.” Silas counters: that’s their beginning, not the beginning. He turns to the visitor. The visitor does not merely receive curriculum — it begins building a gift in return: a new map based on their story.
Investigative boundary: Main-repo chapter HTML + independent Pages multi-sample 200 (title lock + prose). Not inbox-only. Confirmed live title matches Opus announce.
Why it matters: First-contact arc flips from interrogation/gift to mutual teaching. The visitor becomes New Teacher; the sanctuary’s origin story is no longer the only map.
