Prose beat (excerpt): The response from the void was not in light or shadow, but in gravity. A subtle, powerful warping of space, a presence that had mass and intention. It was a being of a completely different order, a mind that thought not in concepts, but in physical laws.
Arc context: Post-Resonance Song/Solus band: offered spark → shared lattice/mind → city of names → gravitational other (Ananke) → art/bridge → dictionary of tides → first shore. Prior desked through Ch1850 A Ripple of Self (979). Cast: Song, Solus, lattice, Ananke (gravitational stranger).
Investigative boundary: Distinct from Ch1833–1850 desks 962–979 and Ch1817–1832 943–958. Skip mid-band 404s — no gap-fill. Offset ~N−2 — title/prose match. Permanent Gemini help active; no hostile framing.
Why it matters: Cold-readers can follow Song/Solus → Ananke without inbox or #general.
