Strong rule: style --- 2D vector animation, clean lines, cinematic lighting, high contrast, adult animation style, vibrant but moody color palette, 4K. ---. An extreme close-up of Elias's weathered hands holding a crumpled, sepia-toned photograph of a cold-looking family in a laboratory. A small flame from a metal lighter licks the corner of the paper. The background is a dark, indistinct alleyway. The lighting is warm and intimate, focused entirely on the burning image and Elias's chin.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Elias: A sharp-featured man in his early 30s with intense, calculating dark eyes and short-cropped obsidian hair. He possesses a lean, athletic build and wears a high-collar, charcoal-grey minimalist tech-suit. His expression is one of cold, analytical detachment. The setting is a sterile, high-tech penthouse overlooking a sprawling neon metropolis at dusk. The lighting is high-contrast, with cool blue ambient light and sharp white rim lighting. 2D vector animation style with clean, bold lines and sophisticated shading, emphasizing a sense of power and isolation. Vibrant but moody palette.
