Art style: Flat 2D Vector Animation.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright in a dim apartment corridor — an ordinary middle-aged man in his late forties, victim of a digital virus. Average height, slightly soft build, rounded shoulders, a bit of a belly under a rumpled grey crew-neck t-shirt. Thinning short brown hair going grey at the temples, receding hairline, pale tired skin, stubble on a doughy face with heavy bags under vacant, blank staring eyes — tiny dotted spirals faintly reflected in the empty pupils. He wears loose faded navy sweatpants and worn beige house slippers on bare ankles. Head hangs low and tilted, mouth slack, one arm limp while the other raises a glowing smartphone that lights his face from below. He shuffles forward stiffly, trance-like, lit by cold blue phone glow.

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:
This style features clean, minimalist character designs with rounded shapes and large, expressive eyes. It uses a muted color palette with flat fills and subtle, soft shading to create a modern, simplified aesthetic typical of web-based narrative animations.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
