Art style: Watercolor.
A modern home office with a wooden desk and a glowing laptop screen. Marcus sits in front of the laptop, his face illuminated by the cool white light of a video call. He nods slowly, his eyes fixed on a spot just past the camera, completely vacant. Medium close-up shot, eye-level. The background is softly blurred, showing a bookshelf. The mood is detached, weary, and robotic. Palette of soft browns and cool blues.

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.
