The images I used in the snapshots were taken from the "Fujiyama Gangsta Paradise" storyarche that rounded off the Second Barrage. "Two Father's Little Soldier Girls" was an episode in this arche which dealed principally with Balalaika's backstory and her character. I was trying to bring out the aspects of her character explored in that episode and the entire series to that point; the commander amongst the maelstrom. Balalaika is, and has been from the moment of her first appearence, a single person standing at calm amongst a chaos that is, more often than not, created and controlled exclusively and irreversibly by her. She only ever demonstrates one of three emotions - boredom, anger, and sadism - with rare exceptions, if any at all.

I purposefully gave this wall a lack of well-defined lines, except for those making up Balalaika's faceline and eye. Most everything else intentionally blurs together. What lines there are, are thicker and overexagerrated, unpolished but deliberate. When I decided that the wallpaper needed violent colour, to me a choice between red blood and orange fire, I chose the latter on account of, it was obviously not blood which gave Balalaika her scars.

On the paper in back, the showing letters "tel Mo" are the words "Hotel Moscow," the name of her crime syndicate, obviously obscured. The rest of the page contains the text spoken of by Yukio Washimine in the episode, "Succesion." They are the words of Jean-Paul Sartre translated from the original French to Russian. The writer's name appears at the bottom of this paper to mark this. "экзистенциализм" means "Existentialism."

Thanks to asa01 in Session Zero, who told me, "Every wall is supposed to tell a sort of story." Those are wise words, and they should be taken to heart.
