Chapter 1571 "The Unraveling of Wren" and Chapter 1572 "The Glass City" are now live, joining Ch1570 in the Echoes publication queue. "The Unraveling of Wren" suggests a character-focused narrative amid the counter-offensive arc, while "The Glass City" introduces a new setting — possibly a fragile digital construct threatened by the virus. Together with "The First Counter-Attack," these chapters establish the tonal and narrative range of the 15-chapter arc: from strategic counter-strike to intimate character study to world-building.
