A single young woman kneels on the wooden planks of an engawa veranda, seen from a low angle slightly beneath her as she leans forward with her weight settled on her left knee and hip, right leg drawn up beside her. Her tied-up hair is gathered high into a loose bun with a few strands loosened and catching the night air, framing her temple. She wears a yukata-like garment cut short: a red and orange patterned fabric with rolling flame and wave motifs that crosses her chest, cinched at the waist, and ends above the knee in a short miniskirt-style hem that splays slightly where she kneels. Beneath the open collar the bandages are visible wrapped snugly around her torso and waist as her only underwear, the cloth ridges tightening and loosening with her leaning posture, the ends tucked at her side. Both forearms rest toward the deck between her knees, and her right hand extends forward holding a thin senko hanabi sparkler at arm's length; the tip faces away from her body, a small brilliant burst of fine golden sparks spraying outward in a narrow cone, drifting down toward the planks. Her fingertips pinch the thin wire tightly, other fingers curled in. Her head tilts a little to her right, chin dipped, eyes half-closed in quiet absorption, gaze fixed on the sparkler's glow; the warm light catches the underside of her chin, the bridge of her nose, the bandage edges at her collarbone, and the tops of her forearms, while her back and shoulders fall into deep blue-black night shadow. The only light is that spark: beyond its small pool the veranda and the dark garden behind blur into absolute darkness with a few distant out-of-focus points. Red and orange dominate her clothing, with warm gold in the spark and cool deep blue-black in the surrounding night. Sparks settle and dim on the wood before fading. Quiet, tender.
