Art style: 3D Anthro. SCENE 5 — THE CLIFFHANGER. Extreme cinematic close-up shot taken from directly behind the back of the anthropomorphic Cherry character. She is in a semi-lying, semi-sitting pose, leaning against an ancient, rusted metal safe in a dark, shadow-filled room. Her back and head are turned away from the camera. Her dark-burgundy, glossy skin with a micro-drop of condensation and intricate micro-textures is prominent on her shoulders and back. Her elegant twig-like arms are braced against the rough metal of the safe. Her head is turned slightly over her shoulder, looking in terror and shock towards the doorway on the far side of the room. In the deep background, perfectly framed in the open doorway, stands the massive, anthropomorphic Fig. The doorway blasts extreme warm yellow light into the deep blue-black shadows of the room, turning the Fig into a terrifying dark silhouette. His detailed bumpy, deep dark-purple skin and meticulously tailored dark charcoal three-piece suit with a loose black tie are outlined by golden rim light. In his massive, detailed hands, he grips the white cotton towel with the fresh, dark-burgundy pomegranate juice stains. The safe next to her is rusted and partly open, showing papers and the nutcracker from previous scenes (linking the story). The background doorway light creates a violent contrast, illuminating the Fig while leaving the Cherry mostly in shadow, with only a delicate golden rim-light along her shoulder and the curve of her turned face. Her eyes, visible in profile, are wide with horror. His calm eyes are in deep shadow but looking directly at her.
