Art style: Comic book. A dramatic opening scene set against a pure, deep charcoal-gray background that feels like an abstract void. In the upper-third of the frame, massive, bold scarlet-red text reading '$5,000,000' is captured mid-impact, appearing to have just slammed down with a heavy drop shadow. Below the text, a cartoonish gold coin featuring the iconic 1980s rainbow-stripe Apple Inc. logo is depicted in the moment of shattering into a dozen jagged, sharp-edged fragments across the bottom of the frame. Small sparks and yellow shards fly outward from the point of impact. The lighting is harsh and theatrical, with a strong red glow emanating from the text and reflecting off the metallic surfaces of the shattering coin. The mood is one of high-stakes regret and sudden loss. The composition is a wide shot focusing on the typography and the central prop. Micro-details include fine cracks appearing in the 'zeroes' of the currency text and dust motes catching the red light around the impact zone. Dominant colors are deep blacks, vibrant reds, and the multi-colored stripes of the Apple logo. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Comic book" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Comic book". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Comic book" idiom, not in any other medium. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Vince: Strong rule: style --- Comic book ---. Strong rule: style --- Comic book ---. An elderly Caucasian man, approximately 74 years old, with distinguished short grey hair and a well-trimmed grey beard. He wears thin, delicate metal-frame glasses resting on the tip of his nose.
