Low-angle dutch-tilt shot from just above floor level, tilted about twelve degrees so the horizon slashes diagonally behind the two figures. In the right foreground a young woman with long black hair pulled into two tall cone-shaped buns, a small dark facial mark on her forehead, pink eyes wide and half-lidded in wicked delight, crystal earrings swinging from both ears, glossy dark nail polish on her fingers: she leans forward over the fallen man, spine arched back, head thrown up and back, weight on her right hip with her left leg braced far forward. Both arms are flung up and out, fingers hooked into claws, one set of fingers curled so the nails catch the backlight; her mouth is wide open in a full-throated cackle, upper teeth bared, one eye squeezed shut, the other glaring down at him. Her buns wobble with the motion, loose strands whipping across her cheek. Her gaze lands squarely on the man below.
At her feet, sprawled across the cracked stone floor in the left midground, a heavy-set young man with short grey-white hair, blue eyes blinking open, small mole beneath his mouth, round glasses knocked askew on his nose. He is on one elbow, coat rumpled and splayed, chest still heaving from the shock of waking, his other hand pressed flat to the stone and slipping in a pool of glossy black ink. His head is tipped back so he can see her face, eyes wide and unfocused as he comes to, mouth slightly parted in a silent gasp. One shoulder of his coat rides up; the other slides down his arm.
Behind him, a mass of dark tentacles and ink-black tendrils rises from the floor and curls up into the air, looping toward the vaulted ceiling of a ruined stone hall. The ink is still wet, sheeted in highlights, and it crawls along the seams between flagstones, beading on the upturned edges of broken slabs. The only light source is a violent violet glow from a shattered arch at the far end of the hall, low behind the two figures; it rims the woman's silhouette in hot pink and throws her long shadow across the fallen man and up the far wall, leaving their faces in deep half-shadow. Above, the ceiling is lost in darkness; below, the ink pool catches the violet and throws it back in broken, distorted streaks. Palette is restricted to violet, black and the paper-white of the stone, with pink reserved for her eyes, her earrings and the glow. Harsh, theatrical, gleefully cruel.
