Art style: Studio Ghibli. A dimly lit, narrow wooden corridor in the palace. Lord Takeda stands at one end, his shadow stretching long across the floorboards. Kira stands a few paces away, her back to a sliding paper door. The lighting is cold blue moonlight filtering through the paper screens, clashing with the warm orange light from a distant lantern. The mood is intimate and lethal. Palette: Indigo blue and pale orange. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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: Studio Ghibli hand-painted 2D anime (Hayao Miyazaki look) — lush hand-painted backgrounds, soft watercolour-and-gouache textures, gentle pastel palette, warm natural daylight, clean confident line work, cel-shaded characters with simple expressive features. CRITICAL: EVERY element — characters, foliage, trees, animals, sky and the entire environment — must be rendered in this single consistent hand-painted Ghibli idiom. Do NOT mix in photorealism or 3D CGI; keep one cohesive 2D painted look across the whole frame. Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Kira: A woman in her late twenties with sharp, fox-like facial features and piercing dark eyes that hold a cold intensity. Her long raven-black hair is pulled back into a tight, practical knot. She wears a high-collared, sleeveless kimono made of midnight-black silk with subtle charcoal embroidery. A traditional white porcelain mask with narrow eye slits is tucked into her belt. She has a lean, athletic build and stands with perfect, predatory posture. The setting is a dark, smoke-filled environment with embers floating in the air, casting small orange highlights on her pale skin. - Lord Takeda: A man in his late forties with a commanding presence and a face etched with lines of experience. He has salt-and-pepper hair tied in a traditional topknot and a thin, groomed goatee. His eyes are narrow and calculating, like a hawk's. He wears ornate, layered robes of crimson and gold silk over polished black lacquer chest armor. He sits perfectly still on a raised wooden dais. The background is a lavish palace room with golden folding screens and flickering candles. The lighting is warm but harsh, creating deep shadows under his brow.
