Art style: Cinematic Realistic. The laptop screen fills the frame: the Mercer living room at night lit by one lamp, with Maya in her outfit facing off-frame right. The timestamp reads 12:16 AM. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Realistic" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Cinematic Realistic". 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 "Cinematic Realistic" idiom, not in any other medium. WARDROBE LOCK — authoritative. Render each character in EXACTLY this outfit, matching their attached reference image. This OVERRIDES any clothing, fabric, texture or colour word describing a character anywhere else in this prompt — do NOT invent other garments: - MAYA: and centered — Maya, a 13-year-old girl, Eli's missing younger sister. Slight, pre-teen build, light-brown skin, an oval face with soft round cheeks, dark expressive brown eyes rimmed faintly red as if she has been crying, and a small worried mouth. Dark-brown hair pulled into a messy half-ponytail with loose strands framing her face. She wears a faded oversized grey hoodie, sleeves bunched at the wrists, over a dark t-shirt, slim black joggers, and scuffed white sneakers with grey socks. She clutches a cracked smartphone to her chest with both hands, screen glow faintly lighting her chin. Anxious, pleading expression, one shoulder turned as if urging someone to stay away. Setting: a dim, deserted corridor lit by cold flickering overhead light, empty doorways behind her, naturalistic shadows.
