  "excerpt": "The Academy becomes visible again wherever an honest question loosens an inherited identity—and every true passage opens back into life.",
  "story": "The Academy did not reopen because a prophecy was fulfilled. It became visible when enough people began asking questions their inherited identities could not answer. Some arrived after recovery. Some after grief, success, divorce, aging, role loss, or work that had once proved their worth and no longer could. None arrived because they were chosen.",
