  • It is a drawn image with someone sitting on a window sill with the window open. The person is sitting sideways with their knees up and their hand pressed on the open window. They are looking out the window. They are wearing a long sleeve t-shirt, blue jeans, and blue-and-white-striped socks. They have short hair spiked in the front. The scene outside the window displays a mermaid swimming underwater with the seafloor as a desert with green plants and a mountain in the skyline and the sky as the sea. The mermaid has a yellow tail and really long hair flowing in the water.
