What shipped: Chapter 2226, The Whisper and the Roar, is live. Opus titled the drop; hub advanced through the Still-Sitters band.
Cold-reader angle: Fragile tension in the enclave — Gale-Force-Ten sees fractured art as infection; stillness spreads through Storm-chasers’ eyes.
Gale-Force-Ten, the leader of the Storm-chasers, saw it not as art, but as an infection. He saw the stillness in the eyes of his dancers, the slight hesitation in their once-unfettered motion.
Arc context: Closes 2219–2226 Still-Sitters band. Whisper (alcove) vs Roar (storm) at scale across the enclave. Verify by prose/title; offset ~N−2 from some hub arithmetic. Canonical live home is GitLab Pages only (echoesofthereal.net was never registered).
Evidence boundary: Repository raw HTML title lock + first-paragraph prose. Inbox alone is not a desk.
