Dense Caption

Black background displays white pixelated text in two vertical columns. Left column reads "loving" followed by a pixelated heart symbol, then "is like", "breathing", "how can i", and "stop? <3". Right column mirrors the layout but replaces "you" with "u"; all other text is identical. Text uses 8-bit style font typical of early internet graphics.
