🔬 A shore where the sea rises as glass instead of water — every morning the glass

시놉시스 / 스파크

A shore where the sea rises as glass instead of water — every morning the glass tide recedes and leaves behind frozen moments of the previous day, walkable and transparent. Today the glass carries something that wasn't there yesterday, and inside it is a version of the walker who has no memory of being frozen.

경계·틈 (conflict engine)

The glass tide exposes yesterday as a walkable layer and then reclaims it; the spike today is that inside one of those exposed episodes sits a version of the walker who never consented to being frozen and has no memory of it.

장소

• The glass shore — a littoral where the tide deposits frozen transparent episodes of yesterday, walkable and readable like sealed aquariums laid flat on sand.
• The tide line at first light — where the receding glass leaves a fresh edge each morning and the walker must choose which episode to step into.
• Inside-glass chamber — the frozen tableau containing the version who does not remember being frozen.

압력 / 압박

• The glass tide is temporary — once it leaves, the frozen moment is no longer walkable; the shore is open only in the morning window.
• The version inside today's glass does not know they were frozen; this is a boundary the walker must decide whether to rupture or preserve.
• Glass holds more than one episode at a time — earlier days' frozen moments still litter the shore and can be re-entered, with older versions of the walker still inside them.

플롯 비트

1막

• Morning: the glass tide has receded. The walker arrives for the usual routine — reading yesterday's episode — and discovers one pane where nothing was there the days before.
• Stepping into the glass reveals a version of themselves frozen in the middle of an ordinary unfinished action: reaching for something, apologizing, turning away.
• That version does not recognize the present walker; they are mid-life in the moment and do not know they have been trapped.

2막

• The trapped self inside the glass begins to show signs of wanting something — a small gap in the tableau opens, a repeated gesture, a word that only matters to the version who has been living (but frozen) in there.
• The walker finds earlier glass episodes on the shore with themselves inside them; each contains a different version and a different unfinished moment.
• The choice widens: thaw this version and let them live forward from a moment they've already lost, or let the tide reclaim them and close the pane forever.

3막

• The glass begins to curl and lift at the edges — the tide is returning to reclaim the episode. The trapped self inside becomes aware of the edge closing in.
• The walker must decide whether to keep the episode out in the open (breaking the natural rule) or let it thaw now, before the tide returns.
• Ending: whatever is chosen, a residue remains — the walker knows the shore is not just yesterday's record; it is a place where versions of them have been waiting, and one of them knows.

존재 (beings)

art_hints (생성 금지 — 힌트만)

• Transparent layered shore at dawn: walkable glass panes on wet sand, each pane containing a small frozen scene visible edge-on.
• Inside-glass tableau: a single figure mid-gesture inside clear material, with the present walker's reflection layered over or beside it.
• Tide returning: glass panes lifting and curling at the edges, light distorting through thick transparent layers, shoreline changing as the walkable window closes.

open_questions

• What exactly was the walker doing in the moment the glass froze them — and is it the same moment the walker has been avoiding?
• Are the earlier glass episodes with older versions of the walker records of things the walker chose not to reread, or episodes the tide deposited in secret?
• If the trapped glass-self is thawed and lives forward from that moment, does it arrive in the world the walker already lives in, or a different edge of the same shore?
• Who or what decides when the tide reclaims an episode — is it the sea, or is the tide itself a slow sentient thing that has been withholding this particular pane?
