**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:
* [#1](#1) --- Jonas seems to have gotten all that he wanted out of True Name, so the inciting incident of the story is him 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 totally 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. This is my first choice, as I feel that it continues on from the overwhelming emotion on the cover of *Nevi'im* and also allows for further messing with the shape of the letters. Still, few more ideas below!
* [#2](#2) --- 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 is my second choice, as the rest of the book is more focused on emotions and how they tie in with memories, which is way more sedate than assassination attempts (plus, double the Odists that could be cut into by the letters). This would also work for a back cover, I figure.
* [#3](#3) --- 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. 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.

## Back
I still like the idea of having an open door somewhere in the image. Nice to have, but not required.
* [#4](#4) --- Ioan talks with Jonas twice --- once on the balcony of eir home with Jonas sitting on a deck 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.
* [#5](#5) --- After the merge, True Name has picked up May's affectionate streak and gets all cozy on Ioan a couple of times (a few times as Sasha; see [the characters section](#characters). The mood is kind of cuddly but also super awkward because neither of them know what to do about it at all given their history with her as True Name, but also May's memories of her and Ioan together.
* [#6](#6) --- May gives a monologue at one point, looking drunken and melancholic in a bar-setting on a stage
