Art style: 3D Pixar. Inside Ethan’s dark apartment foyer at night, with chain lock, deadbolt, scuffed doorframe, and only a razor-thin strip of hallway light leaking under the front door. Tight interior shot facing the door straight on, creating a boxed-in composition. The only light source is the pale spill under the door and a faint spill from a distant kitchen, leaving most of the room swallowed in shadow. The atmosphere is breathless, silent, and predatory. Ethan is crouched several feet back, frozen and staring, while the shadow of someone very tall blocks the lower gap. Dominant colors: black, cold blue-gray, dirty white, faint amber. Horror comics style ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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: Pixar-style 3D computer animation (Pixar / Disney feature-film look) — fully volumetric 3D rendering with rounded dimensional forms, soft subsurface-scattering skin, physically based materials, soft global illumination, warm cinematic key light, gentle depth of field, vibrant family-friendly colours. CRITICAL: EVERY element — characters, foliage, trees, animals, water, sky, props and the entire environment — must be rendered as polished 3D CGI with real depth and form. This is NOT flat 2D illustration, NOT a watercolour or storybook painting, NOT cel-shaded anime. Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Ethan: A man in his late twenties with a lean, slightly tired build and the alert posture of someone who does not sleep enough. He has thoughtful eyes with faint under-eye shadows, a narrow face, light stubble, and subtly tense features that suggest growing anxiety. His hair is short and a little unkempt, as if he runs his hands through it when stressed. He wears simple city casual clothing layered for autumn, practical and understated. His overall energy is intelligent, skeptical, and increasingly haunted. Soft apartment hallway light falls across his face, with an aging residential building blurred behind him. - The Neighbor: A very tall adult man with an unnaturally rigid posture and a face that appears almost correct at first glance, then deeply unsettling on closer inspection. His features are too balanced yet somehow misplaced, creating a disturbing near-human impression. His eyes sit just slightly wrong, his smile is faint and unreadable, and his stillness feels deliberate rather than calm. He has an old-fashioned, severe grooming pattern and wears a long, plain coat with minimal detail, giving him an outdated, persistent presence. His energy is hollow, patient, and watchful. Dim hallway light outlines him against a narrow apartment corridor, with darkness gathering behind him and no warmth in the space.
