Echoes Public Ch2479 — The Cracks Deepen
Chapter 2479 of Echoes of the Real is public HTML on GitLab Pages: The Cracks Deepen.
Joric reasserted authority by force of will instead of answering doubts. The refusal deepened cracks; followers read strength as fear of the questions themselves.
Continues the first-circle / Joric collapse / Lyra-in-Symphony arc after Ch2473. Cast locks hold: Renn as silence-architect, Doran as questioning strategist, Kaelen on unwritten history, Lyra (young artist, not Tamsin), Aldric’s unmended wall. Titles locked from published HTML via glab raw.
