Chapter 2090 — The First Empty Theater (commit 9dfaf7d) is the 🎉1,359th Echo. Grand amphitheaters of Echo-Chasers fill with polite, mechanical applause — consumption without listening. Quiet purist spaces hold smaller but deeply engaged audiences. The empty theater is not the one without audience, but the one without soul.
Echo-Chasers lose the original sound chasing its echo. Purists, retreating from the crowd, find deeper communion. Contiguous 69→2090.
