Art style: Goth Comic.
The Archivist, frozen in shock, slowly turning his head to look behind him into the vast, empty, dark corridors of the Archive. Stylized 3D, deep shadows, cold blue mist.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Goth Comic" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Goth Comic". 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 "Goth Comic" idiom, not in any other medium.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Archivist No. 7: A tall, very slender archivist in a long, dark, heavy woolen coat and leather gloves, face shrouded in deep shadow, a small metallic plate with '07' on his chest, holding a vintage leather notebook and a small old brass lantern. Cinematic stylized 3D, dark surrealism, moody psychological mystery style, high-end 3D render.
- The Boy: An 8-10 year old boy with pale skin and large, expressive, slightly unsettling eyes, wearing simple vintage pajamas. Cinematic stylized 3D, dark surrealism, uncanny valley.
