ID: On a windowsill where soft lights are coming in, a person sits sideways, leaning back against one side with an arm stretched upward and legs bent toward the opposite wall. They have short hair with bangs and braids, wearing a loose dark shirt with wide black pants. Eyes are silently closed, dreaming.
