On the left, a woman with long dark hair wearing a neon green crop top, grey sweatpants, and a dark cap stands holding a case of beer in her right hand. Beside her, a man facing away from the camera wears a dark blue jacket featuring a large yellow smiley face graphic with pink lightning bolt eyes and text on the back.
