@littlek,
I can see the nine.
They are around the bodies...
Eg...look in the black spaces defining the woman's arms......there be dolphins!
There are 2 more defining the man's arms around the woamn...and one defining the bottom of her left breast.
There is one 1..(tail)... defining her pubic area, and this one continues and is also the shadow defining her R inner thigh...and so on.
There's a little cutie where their foreheads are.
