The camera looks down from a high, tilted angle at a large dark-grey travel bag lying on its side on a bare floor, the bag's bulk filling the lower two thirds of the frame and angled diagonally across it. The bag's long zipper runs along its upper face, pulled shut except for a short gap near the head end, and that gap is the only aperture through which anything of her is visible -- the canvas beyond it swallows the rest of her body entirely. Inside the narrow slit of the opening, a girl of small, narrow build is crammed into a fetal curl: her knees drawn up tight toward her chest and her whole body bent around them, with only her head, one shoulder and the tucked curve of her back catching the light through the gap. Her red hair is crushed and splayed against the bag's inner lining, its very long twintails bent sharply where they fold up against the canvas, the small cross-shaped ornament clipped above one ear pressed sideways into the fabric. Her face is turned up and slightly toward the opening: purple eyes wide and fixed on the gap of light above her, lashes wet, brows drawn together, cheeks flushed. A strip of silver-grey duct tape is pressed flat across her mouth from corner to corner, its edges ridged and slightly lifted at one end, sealing her lips shut; a second band of duct tape wraps her wrists behind her back, and her arms are pulled back and hidden behind the curve of her torso, only the strained line of her shoulder showing how far back they are held. A third band binds her ankles together, both legs folded tight so the wrapped shins sit flush against the bag wall, tucked into shadow near the bottom of the frame. The school uniform is crushed and rucked around her -- white sailor collar with its red bow pushed up under her chin, long sleeves creased at the elbow -- the fabric bunched where her body presses into the bag's interior. Cool, dim ambient light from above and slightly left falls through the open slit and lays a soft bright edge along her forehead, cheek and the tape across her mouth, picking out the texture of the bag's canvas weave and the faint grey scuff marks on the floor; beyond the aperture the interior falls away into dense shadow, and the surrounding floor is dark and bare, with the bag's own shadow pooling under its long side. The palette is the red of her hair and the red bow against silver tape and a charcoal-grey bag, with the flat saturated cel colour and clean outlines of a television animation frame keeping the whole image cool and closed-in. Claustrophobic dread.
