Art style: Y2K Retro.
Split screen comparison. Left side: a stressed child in a gray, dim traditional classroom sitting at a wooden desk under harsh light, with a red glowing stress aura. Right side: a happy child in a bright futuristic room surrounded by glowing golden and green holographic neural activity, smiling. High contrast, cinematic, 8k.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Y2K Retro" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Y2K Retro". 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 "Y2K Retro" idiom, not in any other medium.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Leo: an 8-year-old child with curious expressive eyes, short light brown hair, wearing a simple futuristic white and silver learning suit, smiling, curious expression
