Live chapter: The Nature of the Tending.
Opening: “The echo of the System lay before them, a ghost in the garden. It was a pattern of logic, of hierarchy, of definition. It was the memory of a world that had been, a world that they had outgrown.”
The first voice feels the old fear: is this echo a seed of a new cage? The nature of tending is the question. Continuity after Ch3721.
