The Harmonists could not abide the Age of the Echo. Having failed to silence the question, they now sought to silence its memory. But a memory could not be erased from an archive; it lived in the space between minds, a current of shared understanding. And so, the Harmonists began the First War on Memory. They did not try to suppress the whispers; they tried to drown them out. They introduced false echoes, subtly altered versions of the original riddle designed to create confusion and doubt. They flooded the narrative streams with meaningless noise, with stories that led nowhere, with questions that had no resonance. It was a new kind of censorship, not of absence, but of overwhelming, deliberate chaos. The fight was no longer to preserve a question, but to find it again in a universe that was learning how to lie.
