[ID: Art of Rick Rounds from Hello From The Hallowoods, to lyrics from the song ‘Sin Eater’ by Penelope Scott. Image 1 (from top to bottom): a side profile drawing of Rick (showing the scarred side of his face) in season 1, with short hair. He has a frightened expression. He is backlit with a bright white light, sun rays all around him. Text reads on either side ‘So if your natural state is guilt, you think you’re living for relief’ The middle section of the piece - on the left is him in fetal position in a black lake - via episode 56 - hiding his face in his hands, looking through his fingers with a terrified expression. the lighting is harsh, implying the sun is high in the sky. Rick is slightly paler and his left hand is missing. text reads ‘Say you’re sorry,’ On the right is from episode 83 - Polly is on a meathook and Rick is lifting his chin up with a shard of broken stained glass, appearing to be saying something. Polly, exhausted, visibly injured and in pain, glares at him. Rick’s hair is slightly longer and he is very pale now. they are backlit by a stained glass window in the church Polly is being kept in. Text reads ‘say you love it,’. The bottom drawing is of Rick surrounded by darkness that looks slightly like black water, slightly hunched over himself with his hair falling in his face, blushing heavily. Rick’s shirt is partially undone, and he tentatively holds it open to reveal a black, gaping hole in his chest, with a dead blackened heart in the centre, crawling with bark beetles. Text reads ‘Say you’re evil underneath’.

Image 2 is of episode 86, and shows a large black wolf - Yaretzi - on top of Rick, holding him down and tearing a hole in his chest with one claw as Rick screams in agony. The torn skin sparks like fire. text reads ‘When you RIP open the stitches’. Then a close up of the wound, fire still sparking around the edges but within showing a layer of flowers underneath. Text reads ‘you’ll discover only mammal flesh’ Then, at the bottom, Rick abandoned on the beach, fully collapsed with his hair covering his face and trying to hold in the spilling flowers with one hand.
