Viewed from behind and slightly to the side, the camera sits close over the man's right shoulder, so the picture is built from two backs and one narrow glimpse of a flushed profile. In the near foreground, huge and dark, the man's shoulder and upper back fill the lower-right corner of the frame, his coarse dark hair cropped short at the nape, the collar of a charcoal-grey knit shirt soft against his neck; he is seated squarely on a low wooden bench indoors, both feet flat on the floorboards, one forearm resting along the top of the bench back, his torso a broad calm mass that the whole composition leans against. Ellen Joe sits upright on his lap, her back held perfectly straight and stiff, her weight settled onto his left thigh, both her knees pressed together and her bare feet hanging just above the floorboards, toes curling slightly in the air. Her black hair is short and choppy, red streaks showing at the inner layers where it splays against her nape, and a single strand is stuck to her sweaty temple. Her black tail, sleek and long, comes out from the base of her spine and curls forward around her right hip, the finned tip tucked down against her thigh as though she is trying to make it small. Both of her hands are clasped tight in her lap over the front of her black pants, pressing something small and rectangular flat against her stomach, the object entirely closed inside the cage of her fingers so that only the corner of it suggests a shape; her black-lacquered nails gleam even in this dim warm light. She wears a plain white turtleneck sweater, no print, no logo, the knit smooth and slightly thick, the fabric drawn taut across her chest and clearly shaped by her breasts, and below it the black pants fit tight and glossy-smooth from hip to ankle, creasing sharply behind her knees where she sits. Her bare feet are fully exposed, the soles pale and clean, her toes bare, nothing on her feet at all. Her head is turned just enough to the side that a slice of her cheek and one red eye are visible past her own shoulder, and that eye is angled down and away, fixed on nothing, avoiding the man behind her completely; her lips are pressed thin and a deep flush runs from her cheek down into her collar. She is embarrassed to the bone: her shoulders are hunched up nearly to her ears, her jaw is clenched, and a single drop of sweat slides down her temple. The room is small and warm, a narrow interior with a paper-shaded lamp on the left, the lamp the only light source, its pool falling across her white back and her bare feet while the man recedes into brown shadow; the light from behind makes the fine knit of her sweater glow at the shoulder blades and throws the shadow of her tail across the bench. Palette of warm brown wood, cream white, deep black, and the single punctuation of red in her hair and eyes. Quiet, awkward, tender.
