Chapitre 178 - One More Trap

In which SCREAMING

A gorgeous portrait of Sakura amidst a slow cascade of her scattered feathers, surrounded in the floating folds of her drapery, flowing around her like the watery contents of the dream world current spilling out around her. There are two faint diagonal cracks that cast shadow across the page, with her directly in the middle of the opposing lines. 

She looks directly at the camera but half-lidded, as if mostly asleep or on the verge of death. She holds one hand to her heart - the other upturned before her, but empty, her fingers disappearing into shadow. Behind her is the stylised image of the sun, like a halo - for someone who is holy, or dead. 

The outside borders of the page distort wildly in an art style we’ve never seen in the covers before, the magnified details hazy and hard to see, as if not real, or fraying at the edges, or being erased in motion. 

It’s GORGEOUS. It’s HORRIFYING. We’re all in DANGER.
