Art style: Modern 2D Animation.
A close-up of MS. STERLING [CHARACTER — FEMALE] —
a silver coin-woman, round metallic face, coin-shaped head,
NOT a human — her face inches from MEDDIE [CHARACTER — MALE].
MEDDIE is a copper coin-boy — round copper-colored coin face,
coin-shaped head, NOT a human — his eyes wide with realization.
Sterling's expression is intensely serious, one hand on his shoulder.
The background is the darkening classroom.
Low warm lighting focusing on their coin faces.
Colors of amber, copper, and dark brown.

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):
- Ms. Sterling: Женщина-монета, учительница. Чуть крупнее
учеников. Серебристая с золотым поясом. Жёлтый кардиган,
тёмный хвост, зелёные глаза. Всегда с дымящимся
стаканом кофе в руке.
