Art style: Modern 2D Chibi Animation. Mark sitting back in his ergonomic chair, rubbing his eyes with one hand in exhaustion. His expression is one of profound frustration. The desk is cluttered with half-empty coffee cups and technical manuals. A low-angle shot makes the monitor seem overbearing. Muted greys, blues, and the warm orange of a desk lamp. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "Modern 2D Chibi Animation" style.

Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Dr. Elias Thorne: Strong rule: style --- Modern 2D Chibi Animation ---. A distinguished man in his late 40s with salt-and-pepper hair, neatly trimmed beard, and intelligent, kind hazel eyes behind thin-rimmed glasses. He wears a high-quality charcoal wool turtleneck and a tailored navy blazer. He is situated in a cozy, sunlit private library filled with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and soft leather armchairs. The lighting is warm and cinematic, casting soft shadows. The overall vibe is one of wisdom, safety, and intellectual curiosity, captured in a sharp, realistic photographic style with a shallow depth of field. - Mark: Strong rule: style --- Modern 2D Chibi Animation ---. A man in his mid-30s with sharp, angular features and short-cropped dark hair. He has a focused, intense gaze and a clean-shaven face. He wears a crisp, minimalist white button-down shirt. He is located in a stark, minimalist design studio with a large drafting table and bright, cool-toned overhead lighting. The background is uncluttered but functional. He carries an air of intense concentration and underlying exhaustion. The artistic style is clean and high-definition, focusing on the precision of his movements and the starkness of his environment.
