Spooky story time
Years back, Saki used to tutor a boy. His grandma was often concerned over his “demonic” drawings, and after seeing them herself, Saki too was spooked. Shaken, she snapped a photo to show me the haunting image.
This is what I saw.
Hope that kid’s doing good.

As you can see by this neat pile, Saki and I spent months refining the folds of the Jolster to make it as compact and accessible as possible, and we couldn’t be prouder of the results!
