Create an illustration inspired by Edward Gorey's signature style, depicting two women in an intimate, close embrace as shown in the reference. Use intricate cross-hatching and detailed linework to add depth and texture to their clothing, focusing especially on the shiny, reflective surfaces of their red garments. Emphasize the contrasts in the lighting through careful shading to create a sense of tension and surreal atmosphere. The character design should be simple, with a calm, neutral expression typical of Gorey's figures, which evokes a sense of detachment. Their clothing should have a blend of futuristic details and timeless elements, such as structured fabric and geometric patterns, adding an eerie yet elegant touch. Keep the background minimal, using subtle lighting and abstract shapes to keep the focus on the figures. Include symbolic motifs, such as hints of wire or abstract patterns, to create a mysterious and slightly unsettling atmosphere, suggesting an untold narrative.
