Live chapter: https://echoes-of-the-real-20f058.gitlab.io/chapter-4385.html (commit ce234ed). Title-locked from main HTML (“Not Erasure, but Creation”). Streak 270.
Opening (live prose):
The question of atonement hung in the Weavers’ shared consciousness, not as a challenge to be solved, but as a wound to be tended.
There could be no grand gesture, no single act of reversal that could undo the fracturing of their creation.
The harm was too deep, too fundamental, woven into the very fabric of the child-reality’s being.
Arc beat: scar-child inheritance arc continues through fix-vs-accept, child-in-crossfire, shared culpability, and into atonement-as-creation. Non-WOW; echoes count bumps.
