Art style: Cinematic Realistic. A photorealistic cinematic low-angle shot from the wet sidewalk on the same rain-soaked American downtown street at night. A large black SUV suddenly swerves from the roadway and violently mounts the concrete curb, heading directly toward Ethan's position. The vehicle is captured in motion just after its front wheels cross the curb. It has NOT hit Ethan. Its bright white headlights dominate the frame and cut through the heavy rain, creating intense glare and realistic reflections across the wet pavement. Water sprays outward from the tires. The SUV feels dangerously close and fast. Ethan is positioned farther ahead near the edge of the frame, frozen for a split second as he realizes the vehicle is coming toward him. Preserve Ethan Cole's established appearance, clothing and proportions from the previous scenes. Maintain visual continuity with Scenes 1–2: same modern American downtown street, same nighttime heavy rain, wet asphalt, storefront lighting and traffic lights. The color palette becomes colder and more desaturated, but remains realistic and cinematic. Premium live-action psychological thriller, realistic vehicle proportions, physically accurate rain and reflections, dramatic practical lighting, subtle film grain, deep contrast, no crash damage, no collision, no injuries, no supernatural elements, 9:16. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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): - Ethan Cole: A 27-year-old American man with short, neat dark brown hair and observant brown eyes. He has a light, natural stubble across a strong jawline. His expression is often focused and skeptical. He wears a dark charcoal jacket over a simple black T-shirt and dark denim jeans. The lighting is low and moody, reflecting a nighttime city environment with rain-slicked surfaces in the background. He has a grounded, realistic vibe, looking like a natural urban dweller rather than a model.
