Dense Caption

Black background with white and black pixelated elements. Top portion contains the text 'Forever.' in a pixelated font with a period. Below the text, a large white curved shape dominates the lower half, with black pixel clusters forming accents on the left and right sides. A small black dot is centered below the curve. The image is entirely monochrome with high contrast between black and white pixels. The pixelation is consistent across all elements, indicating a low-resolution digital rendering.
