**Purpose:** Turn the abstract idea of "the moment right before you tap" into a vivid spatial image that ties the word *threshold* to the everyday experience of standing in a doorway.
**Image prompt:**
A side-view illustration of a fifth-grade girl standing in a doorway, with the doorway frame as the centerpiece of the image. The doorframe is drawn in warm wood tones. The girl has long black hair in a single braid, light tan skin, round glasses, a yellow sweater, and a backpack on her shoulders. She is mid-step: her front foot just touches the threshold strip and her back foot is still inside the room behind her. Her head is tilted slightly down — she is looking at a phone in her hands, with her thumb hovering just above the screen but not quite touching it.
The room behind her (left side of the image) is cozy and ordinary: a child's bedroom with a desk, a houseplant, and warm yellow lamplight. The space ahead of her (right side, beyond the doorway) is drawn as a stylized "digital world" — a soft-edged blue-and-purple cloudscape with floating gentle icons like a chat bubble, a star, a heart, a question mark, and a tiny globe. The two halves use contrasting palettes — warm indoors, cool digital outdoors — but neither side looks scary.
A small, glowing strip on the threshold itself is highlighted in soft yellow. Three short words float just above it in clean lettering: **Pause Think Act**.
**Style notes:**
- Modern flat cartoon vector style, consistent with Maka and the rest of the chapter art.
- The phone screen is blank or shows only an abstract glow — no app interface, no icons, no platform names.
- The girl's posture reads as thoughtful, not afraid. This is about choosing, not warning.
