Art style: Lo-Fi Anime.
Medium shot of the young man reaching for a cigarette. His fingers are turning the color of old yellowed parchment. His facial skin rapidly sags, deep wrinkles appear, and his face loses all color, becoming dull and grey. Desaturated, cold lighting.

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.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Young Man: A stylish 18-20 year old young man in modern casual clothing, handsome facial features, short dark hair, expressive eyes.
