Art style: Cinematic Realistic.
Alex takes a slow, deliberate sip from his mug. As he does, his eyes snap open wide. A subtle, golden energy aura begins to glow around him, and the colors in the scene become vibrant and saturated.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Realistic" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Cinematic Realistic".
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 "Cinematic Realistic" idiom, not in any other medium.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Alex: A man in his late 20s, with slightly messy brown hair and tired eyes. He's wearing a casual office shirt. His initial expression is one of stress and exhaustion.
