Fanart of Futaba Sakura from Persona 5. She is leaning forwards, grinning widely and adjusting her glasses. The background is green and there is a graphic illustration of her persona, Necronomicon, behind her. In the bottom right, "SAKURA FUTABA" Is written as part of the background. The art is shaded with black.

The object suddenly does a dramatic swerve, and speeds Earthward, directly toward the guy, who looks on in wide-eyed shock.

It grins vacantly, its saucer-like eyes showing both too.Much white, and too much pupil all at once. P4: A closeup of the guy's face, bathed in --almost blown out with-- yellow light. A beat, before he lets out a quiet --and all too final-- "huh" P5: A wide panel, almost filling the width the page. The Star slams violently into the hill, leaving towering mounds of disturbed dirt in its wake. The tree snaps and flies away, like it's nothing but a matchstick. The Star's vacant grin, unchanging.
