Three men are huddled near each other in conversation, one man has his hands raised low as if gesturing about something, the man on the left is leaning in toward the man in the middle to listen while raising a hand slightly while the man on the right is leaning in toward the man in the middle listening with a hand behind his back.

Two characters look on in shock while a man in a suit holds the hand of a woman in a wedding dress holding flowers, who also appears shocked.

Two characters, a man and a woman, are wearing silver masks while seated on a couch: the man Is leaning away from the woman with a hand placed on the cushion next to him near the woman, who is on his left seated on the left opposite end of the couch on the arm of it; she is sitting with her legs crossed while pointing with a finger next to her ear while looking toward the man.

A woman is exclaiming while looking on at a man in a gold mask, who is dancing with his legs spread while standing on his toes, his arms raised above his head with hands parallel to the floor and fingers angled downward.

A woman is projecting her voice in front of a couch while covering the mouth of a man sitting on the couch behind her; he has a look of fear on his face as he watches the woman.
