Art style: Studio Ghibli. The Blue Hour Awakening. Heavy morning mist clings low over a still river as the first pale-gold light of dawn breaks the horizon. Silhouettes of distant boats drift in the fog. A weathered wooden skiff in the foreground, Bà Nội in indigo tunic and conical hat rowing slowly, Mai in a mustard raincoat sitting at the bow watching the mist. Cool blue-teal tones with a warm golden glow on the horizon, hand-painted Studio Ghibli textures, cinematic 16:9, high detail 4k, Lo-Fi cozy atmosphere ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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): - Bà Nội: Elderly Vietnamese woman around 70, warm sun-weathered brown skin with soft wrinkles, kind narrow eyes with faint smile lines, silver-grey hair pulled into a neat low bun, wearing a faded indigo-blue linen áo bà ba tunic and a conical nón lá straw hat, small jade earrings, gentle posture, hand-painted Studio Ghibli style - Mai: Vietnamese girl around 8 years old, round rosy cheeks, big bright dark eyes, short black bob hair with a little clip, wearing a mustard-yellow raincoat over a red tunic, small bare feet, expressive and cheerful, hand-painted Studio Ghibli style
