Art style: Claymation. A dark, wooded area on the edge of a park under a cold moonlight. Bare branches reach out like claws against a deep indigo sky. A bright beam from a torch cuts through the darkness, illuminating swirling fog and gnarled tree trunks. Elena is visible in the distance, holding the torch aloft, her face etched with panic. The palette is a cold mix of silver, charcoal, and deep blue. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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: high-end 3D cinematic claymation / stop-motion — hyper-stylized cartoon proportions with sharp geometric heads, huge bulging matte-white eyes with tiny sculpted pupils, sculpted hand-painted hair. Skin and hair show a tactile polymer-clay texture with subtle surface imperfections, slight bumps, soft matte finish — looking exactly like a physical hand-sculpted clay model. Clothing and accessories rendered hyper-realistically (glossy nylon, ribbed knit, leather, metal). Cinematic warm ambient practical-source lighting. 8k Octane render quality. Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Elena: A woman in her late thirties with a kind, oval face and soft features. She has warm hazel eyes that crinkle when she smiles and long chestnut hair tied back in a loose, low bun. Her expression is usually one of calm attentiveness. She stands in a sunlit, rustic kitchen with wooden cabinetry and dried herbs hanging from the ceiling. The lighting is soft and natural, highlighting her clear complexion and the gentle worry lines on her forehead. She has a grounded, nurturing aura and a graceful posture. - Leo: A ten-year-old boy with a bright, inquisitive face and a dusting of freckles across his nose. He has messy, dark brown hair that falls over his forehead and large, expressive blue eyes full of energy. His expression shifts quickly from boredom to excitement. He is positioned in a cosy living room near a large window overlooking a garden. The atmosphere is bright and domestic. He has a lean, active build and a restless energy, often fidgeting with his hands or looking longingly towards the outdoors.
