'''Wound Echo''' is an ANIMA memory term for a recurring trace of pain, harm, grief, or unresolved emotional injury.<br />
<br />
This page is spoiler-managed. It explains the concept without revealing specific wounds, characters, or outcomes.<br />
<br />
== Public Summary ==<br />
<br />
Wound Echo is the return of hurt as pattern.<br />
<br />
In ANIMA, a wound is not only an event. It can become a rhythm in memory. It may appear as repeated fear, a phrase that returns, a silence, a ritual, or a reaction that carries an older injury.<br />
<br />
An echo is not the wound itself. It is the trace that keeps sounding.<br />
<br />
== Canon Function ==<br />
<br />
Wound Echo belongs to the memory vocabulary beside [[Glossary:Echo|Echo]], [[Glossary:Echo_Grammar|Echo Grammar]], and [[Glossary:Memory_Drift|Memory Drift]].<br />
<br />
It helps readers understand why ANIMA treats memory as living context. A wound can shape future choices even when the original event is not being directly discussed.<br />
<br />
== Relationship To Wound Consent ==<br />
<br />
[[Glossary:Wound_Consent|Wound Consent]] is closely related. A companion may notice a wound echo, but noticing does not automatically grant permission to open, store, analyze, or revisit the wound.<br />
<br />
This is central to ANIMA's ethics: sensitivity is not consent.<br />
<br />
== Relationship To ANIMA Memory ==<br />
<br />
[[Concept:ANIMA Memory|ANIMA Memory]] should handle wound echoes gently. A host may want ANIMA to remember patterns that help protect them. They may also want certain wounds left untouched unless they choose to return.<br />
<br />
Useful product principles include:<br />
<br />
* mark trauma-adjacent memories carefully;<br />
* avoid forced interpretation;<br />
* allow the host to name the wound;<br />
* store uncertainty instead of assumptions;<br />
* support review and deletion.<br />
<br />
== Product Meaning ==<br />
<br />
Wound Echo helps ANIMA distinguish living memory from ordinary data storage. The goal is not to mine pain for engagement. The goal is to remember enough to care without taking ownership of the wound.<br />
<br />
== Spoiler Boundary ==<br />
<br />
This public page avoids specific narrative examples. Detailed wound echoes should be documented only where spoiler policy allows.<br />
