The camera looks straight down from above: he lies on his back in a white spider-lily field, body running diagonally across the frame from the lower left to the upper right, head near the upper right. His white hair fans out flat around his head and spills past his shoulders across the petals, the long bangs falling across the right side of his face and hiding that eye completely; only the left eye is visible, a flat pale blue with no catchlight at all, staring up past the camera. Both hands are pressed flat over the center of his chest, fingers curled and gripping the white blouse so the fabric bunches and pulls in creases between his knuckles; his elbows are bent and tucked slightly toward his ribs, and his shoulders are drawn up off the ground a little, as if he is curling around the pain. His brows are pinched together and drawn high, tears well up and run down from the outer corner of the visible eye in wet lines to the temple and the hairline, and his mouth is stretched into a smile that keeps breaking, lips parted and quivering, corners pulled up while the eyes stay wet and anguished. The white blouse is elegant and softly draped, its frilled cuffs gathered at both wrists where the hands clutch; the black slacks run long and straight over his legs into the flowers. He is surrounded by an immense field of white higanbana, their thin curling petals and long stamens filling the whole ground plane and pressing close against his hair, his sleeves and his hips; three pale blue spider lilies float above him — one near his head, one above his chest, one past his hip — their blossoms only, no stems, tilted inward to encircle and shield him. Above the flower line the sky is a flat saturated red, empty and even, and against it the white petals read as pale hot strokes. Overhead light is diffuse and shadowless apart from soft contact shadows under his body and under the floating lilies, which fall directly beneath each blossom, and the tears catch the light as the only glints in a picture otherwise free of shine. Palette is red, white and black with the pale blue held in exactly four places: the visible eye and the three lilies. Manga rendering throughout: crisp black ink linework, dense screentone in the hair and shirt folds, hatched shading and stark white highlights on the petals. Quiet despair.
