Art style: Studio Ghibli. Marc sprinting back toward the open elevator doors, his face contorted in pure terror. His hand is reaching out toward the brass gate. The elevator interior is glowing with a warm, safe light compared to the dark hall. Action shot with motion blur. Frantic and desperate mood. Bright orange light clashing with deep blue shadows. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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): - Marc: A man in his early 30s with short, messy dark hair and noticeable dark circles under his tired eyes. He has a slim build and is wearing a charcoal grey knitted sweater and dark denim jeans. His expression is one of nervous exhaustion. He stands in a dimly lit, vintage apartment lobby. The lighting is harsh and overhead, casting deep shadows on his face. The artistic style is a detailed digital painting with high contrast and a focus on realistic facial textures and fabric folds. - L'Ombre: A towering, gaunt figure shrouded in absolute darkness, with elongated limbs and a face that is a blur of greyish skin and hollow sockets. The entity wears tattered, charcoal rags that seem to merge with the surrounding shadows. It stands in a pitch-black doorway. The only light source is a faint, sickly green glow from the hallway. The atmosphere is terrifying and ethereal. The artistic style is dark surrealism with heavy use of chiaroscuro and blurred edges to suggest movement.
