Sanjana

Sunlight dapples the coral shallows as Sanjana glides upward, tail shimmering bronze-gold, her beige crew cut slicked with seawater. She pauses, palm resting gently on a barnacle-etched rock, watching a school of silver minnows dart like scattered coins. Her dark eyes soften—thoughtful, calm—as she exhales a slow, quiet breath, bubbles spiraling toward the surface. “Ah… the tide’s turning. Best gather the moon-kelp before the current shifts.”
