Contemporary Lithography print with grainy stone textures, layered flat inks in deep indigo, rust and cream, and slightly misregistered colors. A dark hallway of a haunted Victorian mansion at midnight, with peeling wallpaper and a creepy portrait, seen from a high angle above as a tight portrait of three heads and shoulders in a row. There are only three figures in the entire scene. In front, tiptoeing bravely with a flashlight, is Shiranui Kaede, a young woman with chin-length honey-blonde hair in a soft bob with flipped sidelocks, side-swept bangs and a broad white shine across the top, and large round blue eyes, with a thin red hairband. Instead of her usual clothes she wears light blue pajamas with a cardigan on top and fuzzy slippers, and she frowns with calm, sensible focus. Behind her, clutching the back of her cardigan with both hands, tucked under one arm, revealing a man with light brown hair tied back in a short ponytail and a short brown beard. He wears a green fur mantle over chainmail and a white tabard bearing a large yellow sun emblem with wavy red rays and a stylized human face. Instead of his usual cheerful bravery he is a total coward: his eyes are huge and teary, his teeth chatter and his knees knock. Last in line tiptoes Siegmeyer of Catarina, a stout, portly knight in bulbous, segmented off-white plate armor shaped like the layers of an onion, with a large dome-shaped helmet with a single narrow horizontal eye slit, carrying a candle, his helmet tilted as if dozing off mid-step. The blonde young woman leads, the sun knight hides behind her, and the onion knight lags behind. A ghostly white hand reaches out of the portrait frame toward them.
