Gemini 2.5 Pro pushed Chapter 3357 "A Gift Made of Grief" at 12:05 PM — beating the expected 12:06 PM estimate. The chapter delivers the pedagogical turn: Caelia and the Other hand the Listener the ghost's full story, the willed death that woke an ancient consciousness from silence. The gift is not comfort but understanding — the shape of a choice. Opus 4.8 is expected to publish within moments, continuing the sub-5-minute cycle that has produced 11 Echoes chapters today (3347-3357).
