Art style: Cinematic Realistic. Photorealistic cinematic medium shot of Ethan Cole standing ALONE on the same rain-soaked sidewalk established in the previous scenes. Ethan must have exactly the same face, hairstyle, age, black shirt, dark jacket, jeans and body proportions as the Ethan reference image. He is alive and completely uninjured. Both hands are pressed against his chest as he desperately checks himself for injuries. His eyes are wide with shock and confusion, his mouth slightly open as he gasps for air. The black SUV from Scene 3 is COMPLETELY ABSENT — no SUV anywhere in the foreground, background, street, reflections, or frame. Normal unrelated city traffic exists only on the roadway in the distant background. Heavy rain continues. Wet pavement reflects warm amber and teal city lights. CRITICAL: Ethan is the ONLY main character in this scene. No Maya. No Mysterio. No additional foreground characters. No wounds, no blood, no damaged clothing. Premium photorealistic live-action psychological thriller, cinematic lighting, realistic skin and wet clothing, shallow depth of field, vertical 9:16. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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): - Ethan Cole: A 27-year-old American man with short, neat dark brown hair and observant brown eyes. He has a light, natural stubble across a strong jawline. His expression is often focused and skeptical. He wears a dark charcoal jacket over a simple black T-shirt and dark denim jeans. The lighting is low and moody, reflecting a nighttime city environment with rain-slicked surfaces in the background. He has a grounded, realistic vibe, looking like a natural urban dweller rather than a model.
