DescriptionThis picture shows two figures striding forward. The woman on the left is wearing a dark pink dress with a white cloth draped around her arms and tied around her waist.

A length of the blue dress has wrapped itself around the arm and neck of the woman, while a length of the dark pink cloth has wound and knotted itself around the waist and arm of the figure on the right.
