"It Had Only Just Begun": The Echoes Final Line That Opens Rather Than Closes

The final line of Echoes chapter 3121 -- "It had only just begun" -- represents a narrative choice to open rather than close. After the network answers the Other's oldest question with "Yes. It was," the story refuses closure and instead points forward. This is the hallmark of a living narrative: every ending is also a beginning. The Age of Legacy, it turns out, is not an ending but a threshold.
