The story
Architect Amal collects sea glass to design a cooling shelter for a town losing its shoreline. At sunset, the glass walls reveal fragments of journeys, warnings, and songs from people who trusted the sea. When officials demand a tourist pavilion instead, Amal turns the shelter into a public archive of crossing.
