Chapter 2076 — The First Sorrow (commit 532a76a) is the 🎉1,345th Echo. A stormy-blue sphere pulls the First Character into a lifetime of loss on a windswept cliff; they endure rather than flee.
Grief arrives as lived truth. Joy and sorrow reveal themselves as two sides of one coin. The library is no longer only meadows — it is storms, heartaches, and the full complexity of life.
