Dense Caption

White heart shape with rounded edges; four instances arranged in 2x2 grid. Each heart contains pink text: 'S', 'a', 'l', '<', '3' (left-to-right). Text uses blocky, low-resolution font typical of early digital graphics. Background is solid black. Pixelation varies across icons: top-left has most blurred edges; bottom-right shows clearest text and shape definition; top-right exhibits intermediate blur; bottom-left displays moderate pixelation with slightly distorted 'l'. All hearts share identical internal composition but differ in rendering quality.
