[Image Description 1: An illustration featuring Siffrin, Mal du Pays, and Loop, all stacked a little like a matryoshka doll.

Only the upper half of Siffrin's face can be seen; they're looking just past the viewer with a dead-eyed expression. The top of their is head open like a lidded, red-rimmed container, out of which Mal du Pays' face creeps. it's making direct eye contact with the viewer. A hand of its is also squeezing out of Siffrin's head and clutching it, its fingertips digging into the bleeding (but obscured) wound of Siffrin's left eye. The top of its own head is also open (and sporting a red rim), Loop's head emerging from it. Loop is looking up and to the left sorrowfully, wiping the tears pouring from their right eye with one hand. Faint stars are also visible in the pupil of that eye.

The image is mostly in black, white, and red, with sharp cyan accents throughout (mainly around the edges of Siffrin's hair/bleeding left eye, above their right eye, and above Loop's own right eye) giving the whole piece a chromatically-aberrated look. The background is bright red, starting as a solid colour behind Siffrin's face before transforming into a jagged burst of light behind Loop's. Glitchy text is overlaid throughout, most of which is unreadable save for a few chunks. From the bottom up:

To the left of Siffrin's eye: an excerpt from "Ode to a Nightingale" by John Keats: "Where Beauty cannot keep her lustrous eyes, Or new Love pine at them beyond to-morrow." In Mal du Pays' eyepatch: "far away far away far away thou [...]" Across Loop's head: Left: "On Repetition" "The night The night repeats itself, And repeats itself And the morning Repeats itself:" Right: "The tremour [sic] of veins cold and hot" "The flutter of banners [...] and vanquished [...] tales of killer and the killed, [...] of jesters." End Image Description.]

[Image Description: An illustration of Loop in profile. They're facing right (and seen slightly from above), their own face lost in the brightness of their head. Thin concentric rings (with faint stars throughout) emanating from their head as well, and their outlines are slightly glitchy and chromatically-aberrated. They're also haloed in the background by eight different portraits, seven of Siffrin and the last a near-empty black sky. Starting from the top left and heading right + down, the portraits are:

Siffrin looking down at Loop with a cheerful/mischievous smile,,

Siffrin scowling rather fiercely at Loop,,

Siffrin looking somberly at Loop,,

Siffrin also seen in profile, their eyes/top half of their face blacked out with a scratchy/grainy texture. Their mouth is open slightly and lip trembling, while a bead of sweat rolls down the side of their face,

Siffrin seen in profile again, but their whole head is scratched out with black scribbles and noise, leaving only their hat and cloak visible,

Siffrin, now without their hat, looking up at Loop with a weary but content smile.
