Art style: Lo-Fi Anime.
The old man collapses to his knees on a dark floor. A thick mixture of cigarette smoke and alcohol vapor escapes his open mouth, briefly forming the shape of a human skull in the air before dissolving into ash and dust. Complete blackness in the background. Dramatic, heavy atmosphere.

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:
16-bit pixel-art blended with modern webtoon comic illustration in a retro 90s anime aesthetic — crisp thick black outlines, cel-shaded coloring with flat colors and hard dramatic shadows. Gritty urban lo-fi hip-hop vibe. Moody atmospheric lighting with vibrant neon accents (purple, magenta, red) on dark backgrounds. Subtle CRT scanline overlay, glowing elements, expressive sharp anime-influenced features, streetwear clothing.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Old Man: An old, withered man with sagging skin, deep wrinkles, yellowed teeth, bloodshot eyes, and trembling hands, wearing worn-out clothes.
