Art style: Cinematic Realistic.
Mark and Sarah are in their bedroom, the permission slip on the dresser between them like an accusation. The room is filled with soft morning light, but their expressions are dark and defeated. Mark is sitting on the edge of the bed, head in his hands. Sarah stands by the window, looking out but seeing nothing.

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.
- Sarah: Strong rule: style --- Cinematic Realistic ---. A woman in her late 30s, with a warm but strained smile. She dresses practically, in jeans and a simple sweater. Her expression often shifts between hope and anxiety.
