So...

man.. the emotion on their face is so good. their head being shadowed but the red 'halo' making their face a focal point the lighting on the bottom of their eyes + facial patterning giving the illusion that they are crying the rot tendrils surrounding them & about to latch on. and one in a position to constrict over their neck and the cysts and tendrils. especially the ones close by them. having a grainy static effect as if they arent even aware of it being there the pearl saying “i'm sorry” as if hes also apologising in advance for the rot about to grab ahold of them their irises not even being there. they are blind to whats happening i dont know if the rot is a metaphor for uhh pebble rotting and it “dragging them down” with the guilt that they know they caused it or if its a metaphor for the rot actually consuming them i could talk about every detail in this but this is a lot of tags!
