Art style: dark neon photorealistic cinematic live-action, rain-soaked night city, shallow depth of field, wet reflective surfaces, high contrast horror lighting. SETTING: a narrow, rain-drenched back alley in a dark neon megacity at night, Kai Renner lying sprawled on his back on the glistening black asphalt beneath a buzzing neon sign whose magenta and cyan glow bleeds across puddles; a discarded courier backpack lies open a meter from him, its contents half-spilled. COMPOSITION & CAMERA: high overhead medium-wide shot looking straight down at the fallen figure, upright vertical framing, Kai occupying the lower-center of the 9:16 frame, the alley walls closing in on both sides toward the top. LIGHTING: cold overhead neon and reflected signage, a sickly magenta-and-cyan wash, deep pooled shadows, a single amber emergency light flickering far down the alley. MOOD & ATMOSPHERE: desperate, lonely, life draining away, the cold indifference of the city. CHARACTER ACTION & EXPRESSION: Kai lies twisting weakly, one hand pressed to a dark wound at his stomach, blood welling between his fingers and thinning into the rainwater around him, his face slack and pale, mouth open gasping for air, rain hammering his cheeks and running into his eyes. COLORS: near-black wet asphalt, cold magenta and cyan neon, one amber flicker, and the darkened crimson of blood diluting into black water. TEXTURES & MATERIALS: slick reflective asphalt, beaded rain on skin, the nylon sheen of the fallen backpack, cracked pavement, grimy brick walls streaked with water. DEPTH & LAYERS: foreground — spilled backpack and blood-threaded puddle; midground — Kai's prone body; background — dumpster, fire escape, and the glowing neon sign receding into rain haze. WEATHER & PARTICLES: heavy vertical rain, splashing droplets bursting on the asphalt, drifting mist, ripples spreading through the puddles. MICRO-DETAILS: a delivery receipt floating in a puddle, steam rising from a sewer grate, the neon sign's reflection fracturing across the rippling water, Kai's earbud cable trailing across the wet ground. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "dark neon photorealistic cinematic live-action, rain-soaked night city, shallow depth of field, wet reflective surfaces, high contrast horror lighting" style.
