Strong rule: style --- Dark Cartoon ---. A wide establishing shot of a weathered, two-story Victorian house sitting alone on the outskirts of a desolate Ohio town under a heavy, charcoal-grey sky. In the foreground, a rusted 'Sold' sign leans crookedly in a yard of overgrown, dead grass. The lighting is flat and cold, emphasizing the peeling white paint and boarded-up windows. The atmosphere is heavy and unwelcoming, with muted earth tones and a sense of isolation.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Elias: Strong rule: style --- Dark Cartoon ---. Strong rule: style --- Dark Cartoon ---. A man in his early 30s with a lean build and a perpetually tired expression. He has short, messy dark brown hair and light stubble. His eyes are a piercing grey, reflecting deep skepticism and growing unease. He wears a simple charcoal-grey crew neck sweater and dark denim jeans. The lighting is harsh and directional, coming from a single overhead bulb, casting long shadows across his face and accentuating his sharp jawline. He stands in a cluttered, dimly lit room with peeling floral wallpaper. The style is cinematic realism, with a desaturated color palette and a gritty, high-contrast atmosphere.
