Art style: AI Surreal Meme. A dramatic vertical shot of The Man in Black standing in the center of the street as his body begins to dissolve into a massive swirl of hundreds of black crows. The birds erupt upward toward the dark sky. Silas is visible in the foreground, shielding his eyes. The lighting is dark and eerie, with the crows silhouetted against a pale moon. The colors are charcoal, midnight blue, and silver. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "AI Surreal Meme" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "AI Surreal Meme". 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 "AI Surreal Meme" idiom, not in any other medium. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Silas Thorne: A man in his late 40s with a rugged, weathered face, a deep vertical scar over his left eye, and piercing steel-blue eyes that reflect a lifetime of hardship. He has short, salt-and-pepper hair and a thick, groomed stubble. He possesses a lean, muscular build and carries himself with a heavy, cautious weight. His expression is one of grim determination. He is standing on the porch of a derelict wooden building in a desert town. The lighting is harsh mid-day sun, casting sharp shadows across his features, highlighting the texture of his skin. The background shows a hazy, heat-shimmering desert horizon. - The Man in Black: An unnaturally tall and gaunt figure standing over six and a half feet. His face is obscured by the deep shadow of a wide-brimmed hat, revealing only faint, glowing amber embers where his eyes should be. He has long, skeletal fingers with blackened tips. He exudes an aura of cold, unnatural stillness. He is positioned in the center of a dusty street at twilight. The lighting is a moody, deep violet and orange afterglow, with a faint, otherworldly fog swirling around his boots. The background features the skeletal remains of a burnt-out saloon under a darkening sky.
