Art style: Cinematic Realistic.
Later that night. The kitchen is dimly lit, with only the under-cabinet light on. Sarah stands at the counter, holding a red-stamped envelope. Mark is leaning against the fridge, avoiding eye contact. The mood is tense and heavy. High-contrast lighting, creating shadows.

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.
