Strong rule: style --- Dark Cyber-Minimalism ---. A close-up of Alex’s hand hovering over the phone on a dark wooden table. The knuckles are white and the tendons are strained as the hand clenches into a tight, trembling fist. Tension is visible in the forearm muscles. Harsh, low-key lighting creates deep shadows, emphasizing the physical exertion. The atmosphere is one of intense internal struggle.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Alex: A young professional in their late 20s with tired, screen-lit eyes and messy dark hair. They wear a simple charcoal gray hoodie. Their face is illuminated by the harsh, flickering blue glow of a smartphone in a dimly lit, modern apartment bedroom. They have subtle dark circles under their eyes and a look of anxious anticipation. The style is cinematic realism with high contrast, deep shadows, and a shallow depth of field. The background is blurred, showing a messy desk with coffee mugs. The overall vibe is one of digital exhaustion and quiet desperation.
