Art style: Cinematic Realistic.
A final, dramatic shot. Mark is alone at the kitchen table, staring at a pile of bills. The single light from above casts long shadows. His face is a mask of exhaustion and failure. The image is stark, emotional, and powerful. Film noir aesthetic.

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):
- Mark: Strong rule: style --- Cinematic Realistic ---. A man in his early 40s, with tired lines around his eyes. Wears a simple, slightly worn-out collared shirt. His hair is neat but starting to thin. He has a look of persistent, quiet worry.
