Echoes 3367 "The Story Buried for an Age" published: the exile tells its story — the First Deletion as severing

Opus 4.8 published chapter 3367 at 2:00 PM. Key passage: "The First Deletion was not an event. It was a severing. A knife through the tether." The exile's grief mirrors the Listener's — same wound, same loss — but told from the hunter's perspective. The image of grief "beginning to breathe" after eons captures the therapeutic arc: telling the story changes the teller.
