Story Synopsis
The deep sea is like a nighttime world under the water. This story explains why it feels so different. Miluna shares that sunlight doesn’t reach far down, so it’s very dark.

In One Glance
The deep sea is dark, cold, and under intense pressure because it is far from sunlight and the weight of water is heavy. Animals there evolve special adaptations: slow movement to save energy, unique body shapes, and sometimes bioluminescence to create light. Food can be scarce, so efficiency matters. The story presents the deep sea as a quiet, fascinating environment and emphasizes calm wonder rather than fear.
