⭐ FULL CHAPTER 10 — “THE FIRST ECHO”

Chapter 10 finally lets the characters see the anomaly— not as a thing, but as a memory trying to rebuild itself.The reconstruction isn’t a flashback. It’s unstable, incomplete, the past guessed at by something that doesn’t think like a person. What they witness isn’t footage; it’s an echo stitched from damaged logs, half-formed architecture, and whatever the anomaly itself still remembers. That instability lets the chapter reveal danger without defining its shape.Their roles crystallize here:Riven reads the patterns, sensing how the memory is being assembled. Calyx holds the line between what’s real and what isn’t. Idris feels the moment first, understanding it only after it’s already hit him.And the theme sharpens: They aren’t hunting a monster. They’re stepping inside an unfinished recollection that needs witnesses to become whole.Chapter 10 is the first real step into the forgotten moment at 00:17:43 — and from here on, the memory isn’t letting them go easily.
