Art style: Studio Ghibli. Cluttered one-bedroom apartment kitchenette with peeling wallpaper, stack of overdue bills on a chipped Formica counter, empty fridge door ajar revealing bare shelves. Single bare bulb overhead. Medium shot from countertop level focusing on bills. Dim yellow incandescent light creating stark shadows on crumpled envelopes. Desperate, suffocating mood of financial panic. Cool grays and faded yellows dominating the tight space. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Studio Ghibli" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Studio Ghibli". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Studio Ghibli" idiom, not in any other medium. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Alex: Portrait of a weary 28-year-old man with short tousled brown hair, stubbled jaw, tired hazel eyes with dark circles, furrowed brow showing stress. Medium athletic build, wearing faded graphic t-shirt, worn jeans, scuffed sneakers. Exhausted posture, hand rubbing temple in frustration. Subtle tattoos on forearm. Dramatic side lighting casting shadows on face emphasizing worry lines. Neutral gray background with faint money bill motifs. Cinematic realism, high detail, sharp focus, moody atmosphere.
