Word art lettering only, no other text: the words "AFTER" on the first line and "DARK" on the second line, stacked and centred, all caps, filling about 85% of the square canvas width. Letterforms are bold, rounded, monoline display capitals built from glass neon gas tubes, tube thickness about 12% of cap height, with small dark metal tube mounts at the stroke ends. Colour runs across the words: electric cyan on the left letters, violet-purple through the centre, hot magenta-pink on the right, with additive colour mixing where hues meet. The glass is softening under heat: horizontal and mid strokes sag 20-30% below their centreline, and at stroke ends the tube pulls into a thin glowing filament that ends in a round pendant droplet in the letter's own hue, a luminous tear. Drips are moderate in length and number, varied, and run down from the letters themselves in every letter, never covering the letterforms or touching the line below, so every letter stays readable. The tube surface has a bright near-white core with saturated coloured edge, small glossy highlights on the glass, and the glow falls off smoothly into a soft halo and faint coloured light spill. Background is a plain, very dark blue-black matte void with no scenery, only a faint reflected glow near the tubes, so the neon and drips stand out at thumbnail size. Everything sits inside a safe margin of about 6%.
