Image description: A shot from behind of a boy with short light hair standing before a large ornate mirror in an overgrown garden. The boy wears a dark jacket, dark pants, and sneakers, facing away from the viewer toward the mirror. The mirror features an elaborate baroque-style frame with scrollwork and decorative flourishes. Within the cracked mirror surface, a dark shadowy figure with white dots for eyes and multiple writhing arms appears, its form rendered in solid black with white crack lines running through the glass. The illustration pen-and-ink style line work throughout, creating texture in the plants and atmospheric depth, with an overall color palette consisting of dark blues, grays, blacks, and white tones, creating a storybook illustration aesthetic.
