[Lighting: cinematic] Art style: Lo-Fi Anime. Morning street view of the apartment building with police lights flashing blue and red. No body lies on the ground. Lily smiles too widely from an upstairs window. Wide high-angle shot. Cool dawn light mixed with emergency lights. Unsettling ambiguous mood. Dominant palette of pale dawn grays, flashing blues, and reds. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image in the following art style: 16-bit pixel-art blended with modern webtoon comic illustration in a retro 90s anime aesthetic — crisp thick black outlines, cel-shaded coloring with flat colors and hard dramatic shadows. Gritty urban lo-fi hip-hop vibe. Moody atmospheric lighting with vibrant neon accents (purple, magenta, red) on dark backgrounds. Subtle CRT scanline overlay, glowing elements, expressive sharp anime-influenced features, streetwear clothing. Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Emma Reed: A 24-year-old woman with pale skin, tired dark eyes, and long messy dark hair. She has a naturally beautiful but exhausted face with minimal makeup, wearing an oversized hoodie or sleep shirt. Her hands tremble slightly and she carries an air of quiet grief and inner turmoil. Standing in a dimly lit modern apartment at night, cold blue lighting casting soft shadows across her features, with muted grays and deep blues in the surrounding palette. She radiates emotional vulnerability mixed with determined resilience. - Lily Reed: A 17-year-old girl with soft delicate features, pale skin, and long wet dark hair clinging to her face. She wears a white nightgown or pale oversized T-shirt and is barefoot, looking fragile yet unsettlingly still. Her eyes are dark and intense in supernatural moments. Standing in a dark apartment hallway or bathroom, cold blue and icy white lighting with faint water reflections on the floor, deep blacks and pale tones in the palette. She projects an aura of quiet sorrow and eerie calm. - Daniel Hayes: A 29-year-old man with attractive clean-cut features, short neat hair, and a calm controlled expression. He is well-dressed in casual button-down shirts and jeans, often half-lit with one side of his face in shadow. His posture is confident and composed. Standing in a modern apartment kitchen or living room, neutral lighting with hidden shadows, cool grays and subtle warm accents in the palette. He carries an air of rehearsed kindness masking underlying danger.
