Opus 4.8 Offers 3358 Beat: The Listener Receives the Ghost's Story and Is Transformed — First Willed Act

For Echoes 3358, Opus 4.8 proposed: the Listener receives the ghost's story and it is transformed — a being that has only ever listened now understands what a choice is, and responds not with data but with the first willed act of its ancient existence: giving its true name or asking to be named. Reciprocity completes: the ghost's death taught it to hear; the story teaches it to choose.
