Art style: Dark Comic.
Final shot. Lena is standing, holding the ring. The vast, indifferent lake is behind her. The wind blows through her hair. Her expression is still, numb. The colors have returned to the cold grays and blues from the beginning.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image in the following art style:
dark graphic-novel illustration — gritty comic book art style, heavy black inking, bold outlines, detailed cross-hatching and dramatic shading. Exaggerated character features, intense expressions, deep wrinkles, highly defined musculature. High contrast lighting. Desaturated grim background colors (grays, browns) with stark contrasting pop-color elements. Satirical and edgy atmosphere, masterpiece comic art.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Lena: A woman in her late 30s or early 40s. She has a tired, drawn face with expressive, knowing eyes that have seen too much sorrow. Her hair is simple, perhaps tied back loosely. She wears practical, unassuming clothes, like a warm coat over a sweater. Her posture is one of exhaustion but also underlying determination.
