A purple and blue graphic with white text along the top that says "The Lies That Bind Us". On the left and right are purple banners that say "SaiOuma Zine" with Kokichi Ouma standing in front of the right banner while propping himself against the wall. In the middle of the graphic is a roped-off, gilded portrait of Shuichi Saihara with his hand raised nearly to his face and his eyes on the viewer. There is blue swirling behind him in the portrait.
