Episode Art Description: Digital drawing. A figure in black silhouette seen from behind, standing on a path that recedes toward the horizon, in front of a giant red dahlia flower with a leaf emerging from either side. The forms of grass blades and tulip flowers rise behind the dahlia, seen through a multi-colored mist. The original image is horizontal, made square through a lightbox effect at top and bottom.
