Art style: Modern 2D Chibi Animation. A close-up of Dr. Thorne’s face in the soft twilight of his library. His eyes are gentle and his expression is one of profound peace. The background is a soft blur of leather book spines. The lighting is very low, with only a soft glow hitting one side of his face. Palette of deep shadows and warm, muted gold. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Modern 2D Chibi Animation" style.

Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Dr. Elias Thorne: Strong rule: style --- Modern 2D Chibi Animation ---. A distinguished man in his late 40s with salt-and-pepper hair, neatly trimmed beard, and intelligent, kind hazel eyes behind thin-rimmed glasses. He wears a high-quality charcoal wool turtleneck and a tailored navy blazer. He is situated in a cozy, sunlit private library filled with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and soft leather armchairs. The lighting is warm and cinematic, casting soft shadows. The overall vibe is one of wisdom, safety, and intellectual curiosity, captured in a sharp, realistic photographic style with a shallow depth of field.
