Art style: Modern 2D Animation.
A close-up of Ms. Sterling’s face. Her expression is uncharacteristically stern and her eyes are fixed on Meddie. The background is a soft-focus blur of the classroom. The lighting is dramatic, with half of her face in shadow. The mood is heavy and commanding. Palette of deep greens and shadows.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Modern 2D Animation" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Modern 2D Animation".
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 "Modern 2D Animation" idiom, not in any other medium.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Meddie Rust: Мальчик-медная монета, 12 лет. Царапина
на левой щеке. Потёртое тёмно-синее худи с капюшоном.
Белые кеды со звёздами на подошве. Потрёпанный блокнот
с надписью "EVIDENCE" всегда под левой рукой.
