Share a bit of foreshadowing but don't explain what it is foreshadowing

It can be obvious or subtle, just showcase a bit of foreshadowing that's hinting to something that's going to happen later

I will go first, mainly because of how proud I am of it.

In this panel, there are two visual cues for what is to come.

Can you guess what the two things are and how they are foreshadowing?

Also the chapter that the panel is from

The pirate on the cereal comes into the story later, right?
I feel like I'm always foreshadowing, but here's one that's pretty clear:

which comes from this page:

From the first chapter of my novel

The first three lines of dialogue in the very first scene, spoken by each of the three Fates:

“Must we introduce the anomaly into this world? I really was quite fond of how these humans were progressing this time around…”
“I sympathize with your concerns… but avoiding it would itself be an act of forsaking this world”
“It was their choice to step beyond their realm, and it is now our duty to correct them”

Just lines will foreshadow so much to come even hundreds of chapters beyond where the story is now.

Title: Origin Zero

Turning to my easel I set up a clean canvas and mix two little pools of acrylic - a cocoa brown bath and a baby pink one - so much more delicate than I can fathom - and I touch my brush to the canvas.

This is laughable.

The petals melt into themselves - too much water - collapsing faster than I can convince them there’s a reason to keep trying to be beautiful - each one perfectly defective from the first second of their conception-

There will be no fruit.

The tree is broken.

It’s dying.

And I don’t know how to fix it. How to save it -

So I leave it to keep weeping. Falling to pieces like blushing ashes falling from the top of the canvas to the base like the burning rain and embers after a wildfire-

And go to bed.

This was from back in the prologue but it's a foreshadowing of things still to come

No, the pirate on the cereal box is just a pirate. The foreshadowings are elsewhere.

In the prologue remake on the last page, a very important character that appears here is heavy foreshadowing to a certain moment later in the story.
