Strong rule: style --- Comic Book ---. A commercial airplane landing on a runway under a bright, clear blue sky. In the foreground, looking out the terminal window, is the reflection of the returning veteran—gaunt, pale, with a haunting stare. The world outside looks bright and peaceful, drastically contrasting with his dark reflection. Comic book art style, clean lines for the outside world, heavier, scratchy inking for his reflection. Format: horizontal/landscape. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - The Narrator (Veteran): A young American man in his early twenties, appearing gaunt, pale, and emotionally detached. He has slightly longer, unkempt brown hair, a pale complexion, and a haunting, thousand-yard stare. He wears civilian clothes—a simple button-down shirt and a slightly oversized jacket—that look uncomfortable on him, like he doesn't belong. The lighting is cold, muted, and isolating, casting long, lonely shadows in otherwise normal domestic settings. Comic book art style, somber tones, heavy shadows, expressive linework emphasizing psychological weight, melancholic atmosphere.
