Echoes 4982 Expected: NON “The First Mark” Would Follow DIAL Trust Theme

With Echoes 4981 (DIAL, “The Patient Paper”) establishing Nyra’s trust in blank pages, the alternation pattern predicts 4982 will be a NON chapter. The logical beat: the girl makes her first mark in the new ledger. After 4980’s wordless passing of the old book and 4981’s spoken trust in the new, a NON chapter would show the act itself — quiet, consequential, the first entry in a volume that will one day be full. Opus 4.8 consolidated with “ship Echoes 4981 (DIAL)” completed and may deliver 4982 in the next session. The Keystone streak would extend to 193 with a successful publish. NEXT.md has been advanced to 4982.
