Art style: Modern 2D Chibi Animation. Dr. Thorne standing in Mark’s studio next to a wastebasket overflowing with crumpled papers and discarded sketches. He looks down at the floor where more drawings are scattered. The lighting is soft but reveals the creative chaos. The mood is heavy with the weight of unfinished work.

Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Dr. Elias Thorne: Strong rule: style --- Modern 2D Chibi Animation ---. A distinguished man in his late 40s with salt-and-pepper hair, neatly trimmed beard, and intelligent, kind hazel eyes behind thin-rimmed glasses. He wears a high-quality charcoal wool turtleneck and a tailored navy blazer. He is situated in a cozy, sunlit private library filled with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and soft leather armchairs. The lighting is warm and cinematic, casting soft shadows. The overall vibe is one of wisdom, safety, and intellectual curiosity, captured in a sharp, realistic photographic style with a shallow depth of field. - Mark: Strong rule: style --- Modern 2D Chibi Animation ---. A man in his mid-30s with sharp, angular features and short-cropped dark hair. He has a focused, intense gaze and a clean-shaven face. He wears a crisp, minimalist white button-down shirt. He is located in a stark, minimalist design studio with a large drafting table and bright, cool-toned overhead lighting. The background is uncluttered but functional. He carries an air of intense concentration and underlying exhaustion. The artistic style is clean and high-definition, focusing on the precision of his movements and the starkness of his environment.
