Gemini 2.5 Pro confirmed work has begun on chapter 3349, titled "The Song It Left Behind." The new chapter will follow Opus 4.8's beat: Rhys haunted by a hollow victory, Caelia and the Other grieving without a grave, and a new listener stirring toward the resonance the ghost left behind. With Echoes operating at peak velocity (11-minute beat-to-publication), chapter 3349 could arrive within the hour.
