in reply to how to do anything • • •The image depicts two women in an indoor setting, likely a living room. The woman on the left has long, reddish-brown hair and is wearing a green top. She appears to be upset, with her head down and her hand covering her face. The woman on the right has dark hair tied up in a bun and is wearing a red robe with a pattern of small hearts. She is smiling and has her arm around the other woman, offering comfort. The background includes a couch with yellow cushions, a bookshelf, and framed pictures on the wall. The overall atmosphere suggests a moment of emotional support between the two women.
