[image description: several line drawings of TAZ characters, against various abstract, geometric colored backgrounds. It starts with Taako, a pale, slender elf with a long braid. He’s wearing a skirt, capelet and oversized wizard’s hat that casts the upper half of his face in shadow. He’s holding a folded red umbrella limply, looking to the side. Written next to him are the words: “For the first time in a long time, you truly appreciate the fact that the apocalypse is happening, here and now. What do you do?” Taako straightens the arm holding the umbrella and looks straight ahead. “I pull out the umbra staff,” is written beside him. 

A closeup on Taako’s face, which is extremely angry. “And I point it at Lucretia,” is written next to him. A closeup on Lucretia’s face. She’s a dark-complexioned woman with short white hair and she’s holding a white staff. “She’s just kind of staring you down,” it says next to her. Taako says, “Ten.” Lucretia looks concerned as she says, “T-Taako, I know you’re upset…” “Nine” and “Eight” are written on either side of her as Taako continues counting down.

Next drawing is of Magnus, a muscular man wearing a feathered shoulder piece. His hair is pulled into a bun and he has thick sideburns. He’s pointing a large sword shrouded in pink and purple mist straight in front of him, as Lucretia says, “Listen–” and Taako says, “Seven.” Lucretia says, “Please listen to me. Please.” Next drawing shows Taako and Magnus, pointing their weapons in front of them, and Merle standing between them, looking worried. Merle is a dark-complexioned dwarf with white hair and a beard. As Taako says, “Six.” Merle says, “What the hell are you doing?!”

The next drawing is another closeup on Taako. His face is blank as he stares into space. Behind him, slightly translucent, is the image of a laughing Lup. She looks very similar to him except her hair is shoulder-length. Taako says, “…Five.” Next is a closeup on Magnus’s face, snarling as he says, “The chance to explain yourself was about a dozen memories ago.” Next is Taako, holding his umbrella to the side and pinching the bridge of his nose as he says, “And honestly, seven seconds ago.” The last drawing is of Taako, fists clenched and umbrella pointing upwards. His face is contorted in despair as he yells, “You fucking took everything from me!”]
