The scene depicts a warm family dinner with three principle characters. The human father sits at the left of the table, laughing happily. The daughter, a half human and half vampire, sits between her parents as she tells them a story. The mother sits on the right, her hand lifted to her mouth as she tries to cover her laugh. The environment is bathed in warm candlelight and their dinner table is full of food like bread, a beef wellington, potatoes and carrots, and drinks.

Tezu, the main character, explores the library, hoping to find answers in the books for a cure for the illness spreading through her town.
The image shows a chaotic scene of the main characters being overwhelmed by a large group of panicked townsfolk who demand for medicine. The vampire mother stands in the foreground, trying to crush herbs and reassure her daughter.

Scene 3: Overrun Apothecary This scene presents the conflict of my story, where Tezu and her mother are overwhelmed by a hoard of townsfolk flooding into their apothecary, demanding medicine and answers. Tezu tries to manage the crowd but looks back to her mother (and mentor) for assistance.
The image shows a bright and celebratory scene of the main character and her ghost friend. The girl is smiling tearfully , holding a vial of medicine, as she celebrates her accomplishment. The male ghost smiles fondly at her, a hand on his friend's shoulder in comfort. Bright sunlight surrounds the characters and the table in the foreground includes books, papers, an ink bottle, and small vials.
