- The page is a collage with a central painted portrait of a seated figure with long hair, wearing a white top. The portrait is framed with a glittery, maroon border. Surrounding the portrait are various textures and materials, including what appears to be fabric and possibly torn paper. The right side of the page contains handwritten text on a white background, with the word "FLAME" written at the top in a different font and material. The text is written in a flowing, cursive style and discusses themes of evil, survival, and the constant struggle between invaders and prey.
