A caption reads, “The Next Day.” Inside a car, a braided young woman in denim overalls sits across from a crowned woman in a purple jacket and a purple-haired woman wearing a lavender dress and flowered hat. The braided woman asks, “I call you, Duchess.” The crowned woman replies, “Yes.” The braided woman says, “But you’re a princess.” The crowned woman replies, “Yes.” The braided woman asks, “You’re both?” The crowned woman replies, “Yes.” The braided woman asks, “Are there two of you?” The crowned woman replies, “Yes.”
