Dense Caption

Yellow figures with white circular heads appear in various circular arrangements against a gray background. The sequence shows progressive animation: scattered figures (top-left) form partial rings (middle-left), then fully connected rings (top-middle), with some frames showing intermediate states. All figures maintain identical pose with arms raised. White text "Cult" appears below each frame. The animation cycles through multiple configurations of the same figure arrangement.
