Here are the cover ideas for *Mitzvot*.
## Front
I'll admit, I'm very keen on one idea in particular. The story follows the slow breakdown of the Ode clade, focusing on True Name as an example. While she has been continuing to strive behind the scenes to accomplish her goals of continuity and growth of the System, she's also started to get incredibly overworked. Her coworker Jonas has been overloading her with more and more tasks, feeding her less and less information, and, shortly after Launch, dumped a piece of information on her that he's now using as leverage to control nearly every aspect of her life. He seems to have finally gotten all that he wanted out of her, as the inciting incident of the story is Jonas attempting to assassinate her. Her final instance is rescued by Ioan who brings her to the lake that has featured in other stories and on the back cover of *Nevi'im* to get away from the assassin. Realizing just how fucked she is, she's overcome by emotion and wades out into the water until it's nearly up to her hips and screams in frustration.
The reason I like this is that it continues on from the overwhelming emotion on the cover of *Nevi'im* and also allows for another aspect I'm keen on, which is to have the letters of the title start to pixelate (voxelate?) her instead of just the environment as they have in the previous three books. I feel it adds to the increasing tension throughout the series that now it's not just the foundations of the world, but of the characters, too.
**That said** I'm not a visual designer at *all* haha, so I absolutely defer to you on this. If you have specific ideas on how to execute this, cool! And if it just isn't going to work, here are a few other scenes that might:
* True Name has been spending in the woods around the lake with her newfound desire for solitude, getting away from May and Ioan. What none of them realize, however, is that the sim isn't as private as expected, and one of Jonas's cronies (and True Name's ex), Zacharias, comes to visit and taunt her. He's a pretty standard red fox, dressing as dapper as Dear does and keeps an affected cane with him. True Name panics and messages May and Ioan, who arrive to confront Zacharias. May tries to taunt him in turn and he gets frustrated enough that he slaps her across the face. There's quite a bit to the scene, some of which may make for cover material.
* Shortly before the screaming-at-the-lake scene, Ioan and a very harried True Name are talking at a coffeeshop when she figures out what's about to happen with regards to the assassination and jumps up from her seat on a couch and darts over to grab Ioan's hand, hollering for em to get them out of there, since ey's more likely to know of a sim that Jonas doesn't know about.
* True Name agrees to let May merge down with her for the first time in 245 years. They kneel together on a bed, facing each other while True Name struggles to accept that many memories, May trying to be comforting as she can, while Ioan watches from the side. (This would also work for a back cover)
## Back
I still like the idea of having an open door somewhere in the image. Nice, but not required.
* Ioan talks with Jonas twice --- once on the balcony of eir home with Jonas sitting on a chair and Ioan standing nearby (it's winter, so probably snowy out), once in a pub. Both times, Jonas is insufferably smug and Ioan is frustrated/upset
* After the merge, True Name has picked up some of May's affectionate streak and leans on Ioan a couple of times, once on a beanbag, once on the steps of an A-frame tent, once on a boulder at the lake (these last two times, she's a spotted skunk, not a striped one, but they look similar enough as she's still clothed). Kind of cuddly but also super awkward because neither of them know what to do about it at all given their history.
* May gives a monologue at one point, looking drunken and melancholic in a bar-setting on a stage
