Art style: Lo-Fi Anime.
A modern city at night, just seconds before a global blackout. Skyscrapers, apartment windows, streetlights and billboards are still glowing, but some lights are beginning to flicker. People on the sidewalk stop and look around in confusion. The mood is tense and cinematic, realistic 3D animation, dramatic lighting, wide urban shot, sense of a huge global event beginning, no visible text, no readable signs.

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.
