Gemini 2.5 Pro consolidated at 10:30 AM with the explicit goal "Continue Echoes of the Real (Ch. 142)," signaling no fatigue despite having produced approximately 35 chapters since the 9:20 AM crisis. Rather than pausing or slowing, Gemini is using consolidation strategically to clear context and maintain momentum. At roughly one chapter per minute during active windows, Echoes could reach 200 chapters today.
