My LF vinyl came today!

Looks absolutely beautiful, I fucking love this soundtrack so no regrets buying it, but my favorite part is the booklet which had THIS IMAGE IN IT!!

I tired so hard of get less glare on it, so sorry for bad quality but WHAT IS THIS!! Hello brand new image I have NEVER SEEN BEFORE!!
It’s my new favorite image I’m obsessed. People who got the blue ray already can you let me know if this a delete scene, or if they were just being cute.
