Art style: Dark Comic.
A close-up of the laptop screen in Maria's new workspace. The screen is dark, and then a single notification alert pops up in the corner. The text is simple and clear. The glow from the screen illuminates the desk. Style: Dark Comic, minimalist, focus on the notification.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image in the following art style:
dark graphic-novel illustration — gritty comic book art style, heavy black inking, bold outlines, detailed cross-hatching and dramatic shading. Exaggerated character features, intense expressions, deep wrinkles, highly defined musculature. High contrast lighting. Desaturated grim background colors (grays, browns) with stark contrasting pop-color elements. Satirical and edgy atmosphere, masterpiece comic art.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Maria: A woman in her early 30s, with tired, expressive eyes and messy dark hair. She wears simple, dark clothing. Her face is drawn with sharp lines and deep shadows, emphasizing her emotional state. Minimalist dark comic book art style.
