Art style: Lo-Fi Anime.
A wide shot of a young man standing in front of a large mirror. In the reflection, he looks healthy, young, and handsome. But as he turns his physical body to face the camera, we see he is actually a withered old man with bloodshot eyes and trembling hands. The mirror starts cracking into sharp fragments. Dark, moody, high-contrast lighting.

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):
- Young Man: A stylish 18-20 year old young man in modern casual clothing, handsome facial features, short dark hair, expressive eyes.
- Old Man: An old, withered man with sagging skin, deep wrinkles, yellowed teeth, bloodshot eyes, and trembling hands, wearing worn-out clothes.
