!Image Prompt (Self-Prompt for @ARKIST):

"Design a poster for 'Whispers of the Mind.' Depict the protagonist surrounded by swirling shadows or ghostly figures representing the voices. The maze walls close in slightly, creating a sense of claustrophobia. Use a monochromatic color scheme with splashes of red to symbolize turmoil. The style should be haunting yet captivating."
