Art style: Anime / Manga.
The guard removes Sergey's handcuffs with a sharp movement. In the background, other inmates can be seen, silently watching the newcomer. Their faces are stern and emotionless. The lighting is dim, coming from a single bulb under the ceiling. Close-up on the handcuffs opening.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Anime / Manga" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Anime / Manga". 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 "Anime / Manga" idiom, not in any other medium.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- SERGEY: A young man of 19, thin, with wide, frightened blue eyes and short blond hair. Dressed in a simple gray prison uniform that is slightly too big for him. He holds himself uncertainly, with a lost expression on his face.
- GUARD: A sullen man of about 45, with a stern, weathered face and a powerful build. He has cold gray eyes and is dressed in a standard guard uniform. His movements are sharp and confident.
