[ID: Four still images in black and white. All images are overlaid with a gif of snow falling, and the text is orange going from lightest in the first gif to darkest in the last.

Image one: The silhouettes of two boys from the nose down. Their mouths are parted and the one on the right has his hand lifted to touch the lips of the one on the left. The text says “You hate me. Every inch of you. That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t blow you”.

Image two: The silhouette of two hands, reaching for each other but not touching. The text says “I’m not a hallucination. You are a pipe dream”.

Image three: A cropped image of two boys in matching coats, collars popped. They are shown from the mouth down. The boy on the right is smirking while the boy on the left holds onto his lapel. The text reads “The only one I’m interested in is you. Don’t say stupid things. Stop me”.
