/* ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
   Word2Talk — "The pile, and the quiet" about-story prototype.
   A scroll-driven brand story. The emotional arc (overwhelm -> calm)
   is mirrored visually: a faint field of unread-article fragments
   sits behind the words and quiets to nothing as you scroll, while
   each beat brightens from muted grey to clear white. No soundwave.
   Reuses brand tokens + the shared .w2t-mask headline geometry.
