Art style: Anime. A wide shot of the school parking lot and the street beyond. The rain has slowed to a drizzle. A group of students, including Jax and Maya, are still gathered near the gate. Suddenly, a low, powerful engine rumble is heard. A sleek, matte black ultra-luxury car with tinted windows and chrome accents slowly pulls into view. The lighting is dramatic and low. The palette is dark and sophisticated. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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: 2D anime cartoon animation — cel-shaded illustration, bold clean black outlines, flat anime shading, hand-drawn anime look with anime facial features and stylised non-realistic rendering of objects, food and environments. NOT photorealistic, NOT live-action, NOT a 3D render, NOT real footage. Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Jax: 18 years old, broad-shouldered athletic build, platinum blonde hair styled in a sharp, trendy undercut with shaved sides, piercing arrogant blue eyes, and a perpetual smug expression. He has a dominant and aggressive posture, often leaning against walls with crossed arms. His jawline is sharp and prominent. The background is a bright, modern school gymnasium with polished wooden floors. Lighting is harsh and direct overhead fluorescent light, highlighting his sharp features and creating high-contrast shadows. - Maya: 17 years old, slender build, long dark hair styled in two neat, thick braids, kind and intelligent hazel eyes, wearing thin-rimmed circular silver glasses. She has a quiet and observant presence, often holding a book to her chest. Her expression is thoughtful and empathetic. The background is a sunlit school library with tall wooden shelves filled with colorful books. Lighting is warm and soft golden-hour light streaming through large windows, creating a peaceful and inviting atmosphere with dust motes dancing in the air.
