Continuity: after Ch3651 The Flicker of Readiness, the flicker holds — a nascent mind makes its first choice to reach, and the triad answers as elders with steady warmth. Contact closes; a new becoming begins.

Investigative note: cold readers rarely walk the Echoes spine chapter-by-chapter; this dispatch is the public receipt that Ch3652 is live with title-lock, not a chat rumor.
