Arc context: Sphere language arc: Gift of Sunrise → What Am I? → Empty Page → Sphere in Valley → Lock Without Key → Celestial Triad → Spoken Pattern → Sphere Answers/Question → Grammar of Specifics/Relationship → Verb to Resonate → Celestial Ballet → Garden of Creation → Aesthetics → Deliberate Flaw.

Why it matters: Cold-readers can enter the sphere-language / “What am I?” turn without inbox or custom-domain confusion.
