Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Marcus: A man in his late 20s with a rugged, squared jawline and thick, dark brown hair that is messy and damp with rain. He has heavy stubble and deep-set, expressive hazel eyes filled with tears and exhaustion. His skin is tan but pale from stress. He is seen in a dimly lit, atmospheric setting with shadows playing across his face, highlighting his sharp cheekbones and the intensity of his emotional distress. The background is a blurred, dark attic with wooden beams. - Elena: A woman in her mid-20s with sharp, elegant facial features and long, tangled dark hair. Her skin is transitioning from a natural olive tone to a sickly, translucent grey-white, with dark, branching veins visible beneath the surface. Her eyes are wide and glassy, beginning to emit a faint, internal white-yellow glow. She has a hollowed-out, gaunt look to her cheeks. The lighting is harsh and dramatic, casting deep shadows that emphasize her deteriorating physical state in a dark, dusty environment.
