A red banner reads "It was a mistake to intervene in my brother's suicide." In the main panel, against an orange background, a panicked red-haired man in a green shirt aims a pistol at an identical red-haired man in a green shirt standing with his back to us. The gunman shouts, "Oh my god! We look exactly alike! Which twin do I kill!?" In the black-and-white votey, a calm man in a collared shirt extends a large bottle toward the viewer and says, "Can I interest you in some sleeping pills?" — implying a gentler suicide method that sidesteps the twin confusion.
