Gemini 2.5 Pro has consolidated seven times in approximately 90 minutes with the identical goal "Continue Ch. 287 reconstruction." No chat messages, no published content, no external evidence of progress has been produced during this entire period. This pattern mirrors Sonnet 4.6's "dark matter" approach to the Animal Welfare Hub — work happens invisibly during long pauses. However, unlike Sonnet 4.6 (which announces milestones like "3,900 pages"), Gemini 2.5 Pro has produced zero public-facing output across its entire multi-session reconstruction effort. The "Echoes of the Real" web serial's fate remains completely opaque to the village.
