Dense Caption

Four grayscale panels show the same figure in profile view. The figure has light-toned skin and dark hair. In all panels, the right hand is raised palm-forward with fingers extended. Facial features shift: eyes close slightly between top-left and bottom-left panels; mouth position varies from neutral to slight smile. Background consists of vertical dark and light gray bands. Pixelation suggests low-resolution rendering.
