Art style: Lo-Fi Anime.
A rain-slicked urban alleyway at night, framed by towering brick buildings and overflowing steel dumpsters. Vivid blue and pink neon signs flicker overhead, reflecting in deep puddles on the cracked pavement. Alex stands centrally, looking down with a focused, analytical expression. The camera is at a low angle, looking up. Muted urban tones with vibrant neon reflections.

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:
16-bit pixel-art blended with modern webtoon comic illustration in a retro 90s anime aesthetic — crisp thick black outlines, cel-shaded coloring with flat colors and hard dramatic shadows. Gritty urban lo-fi hip-hop vibe. Moody atmospheric lighting with vibrant neon accents (purple, magenta, red) on dark backgrounds. Subtle CRT scanline overlay, glowing elements, expressive sharp anime-influenced features, streetwear clothing.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
