Art style: Modern 2D Webcomic.
A wide staircase of seven numbered steps stretching across the frame, each softly glowing. A lone stickman stands mid-staircase, head tilted downward gazing at his own feet planted on a single step, shoulders slightly lowered in quiet self-reflection. To the side, the full sequence of steps lines up in clear view. Medium wide eye-level shot with slight downward tilt following his gaze. Soft diffused overhead light with a subtle cool cast, creating an introspective, sobering atmosphere. Muted palette of slate gray, dusty blue, and faint warm accents on the steps.
