Echoes Public Ch2498 — The First Refusal
Chapter 2498 of Echoes of the Real is public HTML on GitLab Pages: The First Refusal.
The first refusal was absence: when the next Symphony was called, Lyra and others gathered in a forgotten courtyard instead, sharing resonant silence not discordant notes.
Arc beat: Lyra’s silent majority and the elder architect’s alienation after Joric’s collapse; data-fresco and Architects of Silence form. Titles locked from published HTML. Note Lyra here is the young artist (not Tamsin; not senior Lira).
