Strong rule: style --- Y2K Retro ---. A wide shot from the end of the corridor looking back at Alex as he begins to walk faster. The overhead lights are strobing violently, creating a stop-motion effect. In one of the dark flashes, a tall, thin silhouette is standing perfectly still at the far end of the hall. The colors are muted greys and sharp whites. The mood is frantic and terrifying.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Alex: Strong rule: style --- Y2K Retro ---. A young man in his late 20s with short, messy dark brown hair and light stubble. He wears a rumpled white button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up and dark trousers. His face is pale with visible sweat on his forehead, and his eyes are wide with growing anxiety. The lighting is harsh overhead office fluorescent, creating deep shadows under his eyes. He has a slim, athletic build and a look of modern urban fatigue. The style is cinematic realism with sharp focus and a gritty, desaturated color grade.
