Their eyes are wide and round, a deep dusky blue-grey, dark-pupiled and slightly upward-gazing with a soft wondering quality, their cheeks swollen with a gentle permanent flush in warm peach-pink. Both small hands cup and cradle a single large glowing star in front of their face, the star thick and faceted like hard candy, radiating a warm golden-yellow light that spills softly across their chin and fingers. Tucked behind them and peeking over their shoulder is a white plush bunny, its face round and sleepy with small blushing dot cheeks. The background is a deep matte black scattered with fine gold constellation lines, small hand-drawn star shapes in gold and blue and red, and two sweeping neon light trails, one cool blue and one warm cream-white, curving loosely through the dark like something left behind by a passing comet. The whole scene floats in open space and feels quiet and enclosed, like something held gently in a pair of hands.
