Behind the wall, beneath the inscription — a niche. Inside, wrapped in ancient fabric: a pendant. Small. Circular. A carved figure with a raised arm. Elena stops breathing. She pulls out the chain she's worn her whole life — the one from her grandmother, the one nobody could explain. The two pendants are identical. "Com'è possibile?" asks Marco. Elena doesn't know. She can't know. But holding both pendants together, she understands one thing: L'eco non era nella pietra. Era in lei. The echo wasn't in the stone. It was in her.
