I just noticed this, but when looking at the actual image. It appears to be someone looking at pen while he's alone in the club, looking at the asset I believe the person looking at him is pencil. So I'm if this is implying a pen and pencil situation or something else but maybe it has to do about pen's anger at pencil for her getting eraser, but besides that, that's all I can mainly go off of here.
