Stood in the centre at the back of the stage, a figure dressed in a silver, military-style suit holds a silver rose in their right hand. In front of them and to the left, another figure in a long, pink dress stands with their back towards us, looking towards the figure in silver, who is highlighted against a warm light behind them.
