Visual: A stark, deep indigo/almost black background (the void, the cold). Centered is an old, cracked flip phone (symbolizing the unexpected, outdated call from Sasa) lying open on a worn, dirty-yellow laminate floor (grandmother's house, the vomit scene). The small, green-lit screen displays only two stark lines of pixelated text:
INCOMING: SASA
"TARIK IS COLD."
Foreground: Resting precariously on the edge of the open phone, about to fall into the void of the background, is a single, impossibly bright blue ROXIE pill. It casts a small, sharp shadow. Next to the phone, barely noticeable, is a faint, ghostly outline of a body shape rendered in icy, translucent blue lines, fading into the dark.
Text: "STICKS & STONES" in heavy, bleached-bone white letters, cold and unforgiving, dominating the top third. Author name very small, bottom corner.
Color Palette: Deep Indigo/Black (void, cold), Dirty Yellow (floor, sickness), Sickly Green (phone screen), Electric Blue (pill), Bleached Bone White (text, ghost).
