[ID: Art of Adèle Werther and Lucy Clarsen from Les Revenants, based on an excerpt from an episode of The Silt Verses.

At the top, there is a portrait drawing of Adele.

She is a pale woman in her 30's with short black hair, and is wearing a white wedding dress. Her expression is blank and distant, looking unhappy but too exhausted to really do anything. Text, in cursive, reads: "The promised bride says, "But either way I become a vessel - for your purposes or for theirs."

Below is a portrait drawing of Lucy. She is a younger woman with long, styled, light brown hair, wearing a full face of makeup, and wearing a similarly lacy white dress underneath a denim jacket. Lucy's teeth are distinctly pointed and her eyes reflect the light like an animal. She is absolutely head to toe dripping wet. Her expression is attempting to be reassuring, but comes across moreso unnerving, Lucy being visibly giddy with excitement. Text reads: 'The revenant tells her, and her smile is kind, "You are a vessel, no more than that; to be anything else would be in excess of your nature."

The bottom image is a full body shot of both women. Lucy, still dripping wet, takes both of Adèle's hands as if to pull her onwards and looks deeply into her eyes. Adele stands limply. There are visible self harm scars on Adèle's wrists. Text reads: 'She extended a sodden hand. "Come. Bear me a gift, and I shall leave you something in return."’
