Art style: Cinematic Realistic.
Aris slams a large lever down on the console. A blinding flash of blue and white light erupts from the archway, engulfing the entire lab. Aris and Lena are thrown back, their figures becoming silhouettes against the overwhelming light. Style: cinematic, detailed illustration.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Realistic" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Cinematic Realistic". 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 "Cinematic Realistic" idiom, not in any other medium.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Dr. Aris Thorne: Man in his late 40s, sharp features, salt-and-pepper hair, wearing a tweed jacket over a simple shirt, eyes gleaming with intellectual fire and a hint of obsession. His expression is one of intense focus.
- Lena Petrova: Woman in her early 30s, athletic build, with dark, intelligent eyes and hair tied back practically. She wears durable, travel-ready clothes, like a field jacket and cargo pants. Her expression is a mix of concern and determination.
