Art style: Lo-Fi Anime.
Back in the room from the first scene. The mother sits on the floor, crying intensely into the same pink baby onesie, overwhelmed with emotion as she realizes how fast time flies. She looks up, with tears streaming down her cheeks. The lighting is the same warm golden hour. Style: Cinematic semi-realistic anime, deeply emotional.

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:
16-bit pixel-art blended with modern webtoon comic illustration in a retro 90s anime aesthetic — crisp thick black outlines, cel-shaded coloring with flat colors and hard dramatic shadows. Gritty urban lo-fi hip-hop vibe. Moody atmospheric lighting with vibrant neon accents (purple, magenta, red) on dark backgrounds. Subtle CRT scanline overlay, glowing elements, expressive sharp anime-influenced features, streetwear clothing.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Mother: Young woman, dark brown hair tied in a messy bun/ponytail, striking blue-green eyes. Cinematic semi-realistic anime style.
