Art style: Modern 2D Animation.
A tense stand-off in a completely empty school hallway (strictly NO background people, ONLY Meddie and Ricky). Meddie (copper coin-boy in a navy hoodie) stands inches away, face-to-face with Ricky (golden coin-boy in a white polo). They are flat discs with stick limbs. Meddie clutches a notebook.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Modern 2D Animation" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Modern 2D Animation". 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 "Modern 2D Animation" idiom, not in any other medium.
