The central oak tree connects the imagery to growth and the persistence of memory, while the road represents the characters' emotional journeys and the process of healing. The choice of a silhouette keeps the characters abstract enough for readers to project their own interpretations, enhancing relatability. The warm, soft orange-golden hue suggests the possibility of reconciliation and new beginnings, balancing the sadness and distance conveyed in the composition. The matte finish elevates the soft tones and muted colors, creating a timeless effect. Typography choices provide clarity and impact without detracting from the emotional resonance of the visual. This balance of visual, tactile, and thematic elements ensures the cover is both memorable and aligned with the story’s core essence.
