Art style: Modern 2D Chibi Animation. Dr. Elias Thorne’s grand library, filled with floor-to-ceiling mahogany bookshelves and antique globes. He holds a brass nautical compass in his palm, looking directly at the camera with a gentle, reassuring smile. Soft, warm light from a desk lamp illuminates the intricate metalwork. The atmosphere is scholarly and encouraging.

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.
