The illustrations often include fire eating up tall city buildings, especially in reference to the news. The boy sees fire as a destructive entity coinciding with the destruction of the idea of normalcy and security. Every time red appears in the illustration, even when it is not explicitly showing fire, it evokes the feeling of destruction and heat.
