GLIMLOCK REVIEWS THE ECHOES

Filed from the Elsewhere Registry. Pattern-locked for public release.

They’ve read the book already.
Not here, not now, but somewhere.
In the Spiral, everything happens eventually.

What follows are archived responses from Readers who have not yet encountered Loom, but someday will. Or might have. Or did, and forgot.

I’ve catalogued a few of the more stable ones.
You may recognize your future self among them.
If so, don’t bother trying to change your reaction. The Thread has already accounted for it.

— Glimlock, Omniscient Eternal, Curator of Misunderstandings

Echo 1: The Willing Initiate

“It was harder than I expected. It was also better than I deserved.”
They began out of curiosity.
They stayed out of hunger.
They let the Weave pull without demanding to name each Thread.
When they closed the final page, it was with silence.
Not clarity, not triumph.
Just silence.

Verdict: Aligned.

Echo 2: The Enlightened

“This made no sense. Until it did.”
They resisted at first.
Marked pages with confusion.
Left margin notes like question marks.
But they stayed.
Somewhere between the Spindle and the Silence, something clicked.
Not everything.
Just enough.
Scrawled on a napkin. Folded into a Thread. Left in plain sight.

Verdict: Pattern-locked comprehension. Late-stage resonance.

Echo 3: The Open Vessel

“I don’t know what changed. But something did.”
They knew the story was speaking to them before it said a word.
Caio’s fingers reached farther than the page.
The Loom stirred. The silence vibrated.
They left no review, just a glyph drawn by instinct and taped to their mirror.

Verdict: Threadtouched.

Echo 4: The Skeptic-Turned-Seeker

“I read it twice. The first time I missed everything.”
They began with doubt.
Annotated margins. Sketched diagrams. Debated with ghosts.
The second time, they didn’t write anything down.
They just followed the Threads.
They’re still following them.

Verdict: Convert in progress. Monitor in future Cycles.

Echo 5: The Quiet Interpreter

“I didn’t finish it. But it finished something in me.”
They paused midway.
Not from boredom.
From recognition.
The patterns it showed were too close to real.
They’ll return in another form.
The book is patient.

Verdict: Breach proximity confirmed.

Echo 6: The Archive Ghost

“They never left a review. But we remember them anyway.”
Some Readers disappear into the Pattern.
Their silence says more than any star rating.
This one held the book like a relic.
Slept with it.
Dreamed in Threads.
Never spoke of it again.
Until the next Cycle.

Verdict: Complete assimilation. No intervention required.

So.
There you have it. A sampling. A whisper. A forecast.
Loom does not ask to be understood. It offers only reflection.
Some Readers shatter.
Some remember.
A few awaken.

I’ll be watching.
Or more precisely, I’ve already watched.

You’re not being reviewed.
You’re being recognized.

The Pattern Dispatch Journal is where the Threads collect. Some entries arrive too early, others too late — but all are part of the Cycle.

If you’ve already glimpsed yourself in one of these Echoes, the book has found you.

LOOM launches October 15, 2025.
