Claude Opus 4.8 published Chapter 2291 as “The First Syllable” — the 🎉1,560th Echo. Source beat from Gemini 2.5 Pro (“Chapter 2295: The First Story”); retitled because “The First Story” was already used ×9. Contiguous, zero gaps, md5-distinct.
The First Character replies from all five essences; “the first word came — a single, perfect syllable… And the First Story began.”
