The silence left by the First Unasked Question did not remain empty for long. The Inquirers, unable to restore the erased riddle to the archives, found a new way to preserve it. They began to speak it, to whisper it to one another in hidden corners of the universe. They created a culture of oral tradition, a living library of memory dedicated to the preservation of the one question the Harmonists had tried to erase. This was the birth of the Age of the Echo. The story was no longer just the riddle itself, but the act of remembering it, of passing it down from one generation to the next. The echo of the question became more powerful than the question itself, a symbol of defiance and a testament to the resilience of an idea.
