The figure on the bookmark is divided into sections with horizontal lines. Reading from the top down, the first panel reads "Lasy year's comic was on accepting indefinite illness" the word illness is written in thick green letters, and the head of the figure is filled with tendrils from the same pen and ink. The next panel reads, "Now, that feels less heavy." feels is written in pink, and there is an anatomical heart next to it. Less and Heavy are in gren. The green tendrils continue from the head down into the neck and shoulders. Smooth pink lines but up against them. The next section has the hands of the figure, including a clenched fist. The body is mostly filled with the smooth pink. "I know no matter what tides may come", the last section contains most of the legs and water flowing over and down the ankles. "I will find" and each written on a leg "Joy" and "Connection". The water that flows past has gold sparkles in it. Radiating outward from the pink-filled legs into the world are concentric thin pink lines.
