Opposing Return Row Pair

Gallery / Serpentine Layout

A single line drops from the top row into a right-hand section then returns leftward to a sibling below. The descending feed and the returning leg share one inter-row gap; each takes its own horizontal corridor a clear lane apart instead of the two grazing at a 4px sliver.
