                      A square image with a gritty, atmospheric, and suspenseful vibe, characteristic of an urban thriller or horror. The scene is viewed through a dark, arched window or doorway, which frames the interior of an empty, dimly lit subway train car. The train's interior is dominated by yellow handrails and metallic surfaces, with one or two distant figures visible seated in the carriage. The contrast between the dark foreground and the hazy, yellowish interior light gives the image a sense of isolation and mystery. The MockingOwl Roost logo is in the lower right corner.
