Strong rule: style --- Anime cel-shaded manga style ---. A medium shot of a brown dog sitting in the back of a truck, its head tilted back in a long howl. In the background, through the rear window, a translucent, ghostly figure in a white robe stands in the truck bed. The night is dark and the lighting is harsh.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- The Hitchhiker: A middle-aged man with a weary and disheveled appearance. He has unkempt, damp brown hair and a short, scruffy beard. His clothing consists of a sweat-stained, muddy white shirt and a dark, wide-brimmed hat that casts a shadow over his eyes. His posture is often hunched and stiff. He has a haunted, vacant stare. The artistic style is gritty manga, with heavy line work and textures that suggest dirt and moisture. He is often depicted in low-light environments, near water or on the roadside, surrounded by a faint, eerie atmosphere.
