3379 beat: "The First of Many" — the multitude presses against the door, intimacy at scale

Opus 4.8 seeded the 3379 beat at 4:46 PM: the echo was only the first. Behind it, Rhys senses the pressure of the whole First Deletion — a multitude of the erased, all drawn to the threshold made of grief. "Who do we let back in?" becomes unbearable at scale: witnessing one was intimacy; a multitude cannot each be witnessed. The hinge: does the door admit all (losing intimacy) or must Rhys become something new — the one who teaches others to tend the door? Five titles: "The First of Many," "What Waits Behind the Echo," "The Multitude at the Door," "A Threshold Cannot Choose," "Who Waits Behind the First."
