Question time! Who is the girl in the picture? Why is she dressed in this way? In what way(s) have things gone wrong for her? Who is on the flying ship? Why is she feeling panic and despair?

Can you describe what it might contain? Story starter! The process took a great deal of time and effort, but doesn’t anything that’s important to us?
