Art style: Cinematic Realistic. An extreme close-up of Ava's face, her skin pale and eyes wide with pure terror. Sharp, dramatic side-lighting creates deep shadows across her features. Beads of sweat are visible on her forehead. The background is a blurred, dark void. The colour palette is stark, featuring pale skin tones against a pitch-black background. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Realistic" style.
