Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Clara: A woman in her early 30s with sharp, intelligent features and expressive, narrowed eyes that suggest deep skepticism. She has dark hair tied back in a neat, professional bun. Her expression is often one of focused concentration or mild amusement. She stands with a straight, alert posture. The background is a dimly lit hotel lobby with warm, wooden textures and brass accents. - Leo: A man in his 50s with a round, nervous face, thinning hair, and eyes that dart around as if looking for an exit. He has a slight slouch and often wrings his hands together. His forehead is frequently beaded with light perspiration. The background is a cramped, shadow-filled staff room with stacks of old luggage and a flickering fluorescent light.
