Strong rule: style --- 3D Pixar-style Animation ---. A medium close-up of Alex holding the phone to his ear, his expression turning from hope to hollow shock. The room is still strobing with emergency lights. He looks physically drained, his mouth slightly open. The color palette is muted, focusing on the cold blues of the room and the pale skin of his face.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Alex: A 25-year-old Asian man with a sharp jawline and deep-set, expressive eyes. In the present, he has neatly styled black hair and wears a high-end black silk button-down shirt. In the flashback, his hair is messy, and he wears a faded, oversized grey t-shirt. He has a lean build and a complexion that looks pale under harsh lighting. The style is cinematic realism with sharp focus on facial expressions, set against high-contrast urban environments.
