Dense Caption
Black background displays repeated 'Alex <3' text in white pixelated font. First frame shows three identical 'Alex <3' texts stacked vertically. Second frame adds a small white plus sign above the middle 'Alex <3'. Third frame replaces the plus with two smaller plus signs, then changes to an X symbol on the right. Fourth frame has one plus sign and scattered dots below. Fifth frame shows more dots forming circular patterns at bottom. All text remains consistent: 'Alex' followed by '<3' in white pixels.
