Four friends are enjoying a ride at a carnival at night. The friends are a Black boy wearing an orange hat, a Black girl wearing a witch hat and an orange coat, a White girl with white hair and a red dress, and an older White man with white hair wearing a blue jacket. The carnival has a Ferris wheel and a carousel in the background, with orange lanterns strung across the sky.
