Art style: Minimalist 2D stick-figure animation, clean black outlines on textured paper background, vibrant accent colors for key objects, smooth vector motion, 4K.. A bustling, previously colorful street market. Modern Mark stands in the center, his shoulders slumped heavily in a posture of deep depression. A thick, semi-transparent grey barrier visually blocks his nose. The entire environment around him is drained of all hue, reduced to flat, muddy shades of grey. Medium-wide shot. Flat, oppressive, diffused lighting. Melancholic, heavy, intensely isolating mood. Dominant colors of ash grey, muted charcoal, and heavy slate. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Minimalist 2D stick-figure animation, clean black outlines on textured paper background, vibrant accent colors for key objects, smooth vector motion, 4K." style.

Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Modern Mark: Strong rule: style --- Minimalist 2D stick-figure animation, clean black outlines on textured paper background, vibrant accent colors for key objects, smooth vector motion, 4K. ---. A stylized, minimalist 2D animated modern man in his late 20s, designed in a premium explainer-video style. He has a slightly fatigued but relatable expression, messy dark hair, and wears a casual, vibrant blue hoodie that pops against the background. His build is average and slightly slouched, reflecting a sedentary, tech-heavy lifestyle. He is rendered with clean, bold black outlines and smooth vector curves. The background is an elegant, off-white textured paper material, giving the scene a tactile, high-quality feel. Soft, cinematic lighting highlights his face, often reflecting the stark, cool blue glow of a digital screen. He carries an energy of modern exhaustion and curious awakening.
