A scene in monochromatic dark orange. The head of a figure rests on a detailed and textured lip of something filled with water. The only visible features are two closed eyes drawn as two downward facing half circles. The submerged body is visible to just below the chest, also drawn with similar two half circles. The background is a dark texture with a grid pattern.
