A Patchy Scaled SeaGiving

Tangela is a brilliant half-Mersa inventor, but to her family, she’s just an endless supply of Inspira grain. After years of buying their affection to make up for being an outcast, she hits her breaking point when a surprise 2,000-Inspira bill for SeaGiving dinner lands in her lap.

With the help of a therapist and her best friends, Tangela must find the courage to do the scariest thing imaginable: set a budget.

In this underwater holiday tale about family dynamics and self-worth, Tangela learns that setting boundaries isn't just about saving money—it's about learning that if you keep feeding the sharks, they never stop biting.
