Art style: Cinematic Realistic. The bedroom feels claustrophobic and tense. Maya is holding the camera up to take another photo, her expression one of pure dread. The flash of the camera provides a sharp, white burst of light that illuminates a tall, dark figure standing just inches behind her shoulder. The color palette is dominated by harsh whites and deep blacks. Wide shot showing the proximity of the figure. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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): - Maya: A 17-year-old girl with shoulder-length messy brown hair, wearing an oversized faded denim jacket over a simple grey striped t-shirt. She has large, expressive hazel eyes and a light dusting of freckles across her nose. Her expression is a mix of youthful curiosity and growing dread. She is standing in a dimly lit, cluttered attic filled with old boxes and dusty furniture. The lighting is moody with soft shafts of moonlight. Her overall vibe is modern yet nostalgic, with a focus on her wide, fearful eyes. - Shadow Man: A tall, imposing figure standing over six feet, completely shrouded in a heavy, charcoal-colored wool overcoat that seems to absorb all light. A wide-brimmed black fedora casts a deep, impenetrable shadow over his entire face, revealing only a sharp, unnaturally pale chin and jawline. His posture is stiff and predatory. He is positioned in a dark, shadowy hallway with minimal light. The atmosphere surrounding him feels cold and ethereal, with a presence that is both physical and ghostly.
