The guy was hard to follow

This is about that situation when someone is telling you something important, but your mind starts going off in different directions—focusing on the way the person’s mouth moves for example—while the information they’re imparting seems to just pile up around them.

I thought this would be an interesting situation to try and illustrate, and also a good excuse to get some Klimt-style patterning in there.
