Burned: The Stress Threshold

Illustration of the same person in side-profile view in three stages of working. At the far left is a femme-presenting person with done-up hair that is in the colors of an active fire flame appearing to be typing; next is the same person partially slumped over with the bottom part of their hair partially burnt looking dismayed; the third is the person fully slumped over, resting their head on their hands with their hair looking like embers of a fire. Above this illustration are the words "Burned Out."
