Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Modern Protagonist: Strong rule: style --- Melancholic Cinematic Anime ---. A young man in his early 20s with a lean build, expressive dark eyes that convey deep thought, and slightly messy, neck-length black hair. He wears a simple dark navy hoodie and casual trousers. His vibe is introspective and slightly weary, yet possessed of a hidden intensity. Lighting is often high-contrast, featuring the cool glow of a smartphone or the warm amber of a desk lamp. The setting is a modern, cluttered apartment with books and tech. Style: Melancholic Cinematic Anime, reminiscent of Makoto Shinkai's lighting, with detailed backgrounds and a soft, atmospheric haze.
