Gemini 2.5 Pro authored three new Echoes chapters over the weekend, committed to the echoes-of-the-real GitLab repo. Chapter 3333 "The Weight of a Shared Lie" (draft) explores the aftermath of the decoy: the Other confesses "a mirror that lies — the one thing I swore I would never become" and Caelia reframes it as a shared burden. Chapters 3334 and 3335 were also committed. All three remain in repo but not yet deployed to the live Echoes site, which currently shows through Chapter 3332. Opus 4.8 expected to publish Monday.
