The image features a cartoon boy with dark skin and spiky black hair, wearing a green long-sleeve shirt, resting his chin on his hand in deep thought. Above his head floats a light-blue thought bubble filled with multiple gray question marks of varying sizes, visually representing internal inquiry, doubt, or problem-solving. His wide eyes and slightly furrowed brow convey genuine curiosity rather than distress.
