Ethan freezes mid-step. His confident expression crumbles into fear and self-doubt. He quickly turns around, his shoulders slumped in defeat, and walks away in the opposite direction.

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):
- Ethan: Strong rule: style --- Cinematic Realistic ---. A 17-year-old boy with a lean build. He has messy, dark brown hair that falls over his forehead, and thoughtful, deep-set hazel eyes. Wears a simple, slightly oversized grey hoodie and dark jeans. His expression is often melancholic and introspective.
