Dense Caption

Four grayscale panels arranged in a 2x2 grid. Each panel contains a bright central light source with a soft circular halo. The light source's position shifts across panels: top-left panel has the light source near the top center with a faint circular outline above it; top-right panel has the light source near the top center without the circular outline; bottom-left panel has the light source near the center with a faint circular outline below it; bottom-right panel has the light source near the center without the circular outline. All panels contain pink pixelated text reading 'Taken' positioned below the light source. The background is dark gray with subtle pixelated texture. The light source appears to pulse or change intensity across panels.
