Art style: Cinematic Realistic. A close-up shot of a digital clock showing 04:00 AM on a bedside table next to a perfectly organized stack of self-help books. The lighting is a dim, sickly green from the clock's LED. In the background, Alex's silhouette is visible, lying perfectly straight on a bed with grey sheets. The composition is symmetrical and rigid, conveying a sense of suffocating order. The color palette is restricted to muted teals and dark shadows. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Realistic" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Cinematic Realistic". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Cinematic Realistic" idiom, not in any other medium. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Alex: A man in his early 40s with tired, deep-set eyes and a slight salt-and-pepper stubble. He wears a plain, charcoal-grey hoodie and looks physically drained, with a slouched posture. His face is pale from years of indoor living. He is sitting in a dimly lit room filled with computer monitors. The lighting is dominated by the cold blue glow of screens, casting long, sharp shadows against a minimalist, sterile background. He has a focused but hollow expression, suggesting deep burnout and a lack of joy.
