You don't just deserve nice things. You deserve to be made to feel like you deserve them. You don't just deserve love. You deserve to be made to feel that you are worthy of loving.

He is rendered in black and grey with red highlights and a red background. He is licking an axe blade. it is signed Riley '26.
