The image features two individuals each shown from roughly the waist upwards. The person on the left is sitting or leaning against a vending machine, facing sideways with their gaze slightly downcast. They have short, dark hair with bangs and are wearing a plaid coat with a large collar. The person on the right is standing and facing slightly towards the right side of the image, with a focused expression on their face. They have short, dark hair and are wearing a jacket with a fur collar over a light button-up shirt. In their hands, they appear to hold a small item, possibly some paper or wrapper. The background consists of a nondescript interior space; part of the wall and a sign can also be seen, with the sign partially readable as "ORANE[z]." The image is in black and white.
