There's a black checkered background, and on the top are two headshots by one another -- one of Jenny (top back) and Confetti (bottom front). There are clip art assets from Mouthwashing (a horror game) on the borders of their photos, and the text "Mouthwashing: October 2025" and then a quote from the game "I hope this hurts".
