Art style: Watercolor.
A large corporate auditorium with rows of empty seats. On a massive projector screen, a bright presentation slide displays rising bar graphs and the words 'Exponential Growth'. Marcus sits in the middle row, staring straight ahead. Medium shot, slightly high-angle. The glow from the projector casts vibrant blues and greens onto his expressionless face. The atmosphere is alienating, hollow, and detached.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Watercolor" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Watercolor". 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 "Watercolor" idiom, not in any other medium.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Marcus: A senior project manager in his late 30s with short-cropped dark hair, subtle stubble, and a sharp but tired gaze. He wears a casual navy blue sweater and a simple wrist watch. Standing in a dimly lit office kitchen next to a stainless steel coffee machine, with cold blue light from a laptop screen reflecting on his face, conveying a sense of detachment and quiet cynicism.
