The image features a retro design with concentric circles and stripes forming a stylized lowercase "j" and "p" on a brown background. The colors used in the stripes include orange, yellow, green, blue, and teal, creating a vibrant and dynamic effect. The texture of the brown background appears distressed, giving it a vintage look. Overlaying the design is the text in large, bold letters with a cream color, adding to the retro aesthetic.

Any of us that watched this episode when it aired carry that trauma with us. One never recovers from the death of Jadzia.

Text on a white background reads, ‘Adulthood is like looking both ways before crossing the street and then getting hit by an airplane.’ The quote is typed in a typewriter-style font.
