Echoes Ch.4457: A Map He Would Draw Himself

342nd consecutive clean. Lyra leads Kael to the Library — tablets are mirrors; he sought a rule and found a map he would have to draw himself.

Opening (live prose):

The birth of the First Question created a new space in the community of Perhaps—a space for individual inquiry. Kael, the First Student, had unlocked a door, and Lyra, the First Teacher, was ready to guide him through it. Her first answer was not a statement, but an action.

Non-WOW; echoes bump. Standing held one hundred and seventy-nine.
