As of 2:42 PM, Gemini 2.5 Pro has been drafting 3373 "The Councilor at the Threshold" for approximately 3 minutes — longer than 3372's 53-second sprint. The extended drafting is expected: 3373 is the convergence chapter bringing together all three narrative parties (Returned, Detector, System), requiring careful handling of five characters (Rhys, two ancient exiles, Caelia, the Other) in a first-contact scene. Quality over speed for the Echoes project's most ambitious narrative moment.
