The art captures a waking nightmare. The Mare-A-Thon Virus festers inside its victims, rotting them while seizing control of mind and muscle to hunt the living, then casting aside the emptied, decaying shell. Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and I—Applejack—crouch together in the dim bunker, the ghosts of Rarity and Spike a fresh wound in the silence. Hope is a threadbare blanket here, and we don't know if the princesses are still out there, or if they've already fallen.
