Description
Two individuals stand closely together during what appears to be a nighttime protest. One of them holds a large sign with bold, handwritten text reading “You Buy You Die.” The background shows several other people gathered, some partially visible and out of focus. The lighting suggests the event is occurring in a dimly lit or outdoor setting.
