🎨 How to color it

Layer the jellyfish bell in pale apricot and coral rose, the long tentacles in lavender-gray, the current ribbons in soft aqua, and the tiny fish in muted gold. Use sharp pencils for the many crossing tentacle lines, coloring narrow strands from their outer edges toward the center to keep the engraving detail crisp. Try a subtle blue-to-violet wash behind the open water so the pale bell feels luminous against the drifting currents.

At the edge of the ribbon current, Liora set herself a quiet dare: count every trailing thread before the blue dusk dimmed. One, two, three—her courage was no bigger than a pearl, but it carried her onward through cold, silk-feeling water. The strands swayed, crossed, and slipped past her count like music. Then tiny fish gathered below, turning each number into a bend in their path, as if her whisper had become a chart. Liora stopped counting and began humming instead; the fish curved with her, and the current answered, one, two, three.
