Art style: Studio Ghibli. A secluded corner of a vibrant primary school playground during recess. The area is shaded by a large oak tree with thick, gnarled roots and fallen leaves on the rubber matting. Leo sits on a low wooden bench, hunched over with his head slightly bowed. Soft morning light filters through the dense canopy, creating a dappled pattern on the ground. The mood is quiet and lonely, using a palette of cool blues and deep greens with hints of warm amber. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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: Studio Ghibli hand-painted 2D anime (Hayao Miyazaki look) — lush hand-painted backgrounds, soft watercolour-and-gouache textures, gentle pastel palette, warm natural daylight, clean confident line work, cel-shaded characters with simple expressive features. CRITICAL: EVERY element — characters, foliage, trees, animals, sky and the entire environment — must be rendered in this single consistent hand-painted Ghibli idiom. Do NOT mix in photorealism or 3D CGI; keep one cohesive 2D painted look across the whole frame. Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Leo: A seven-year-old boy with a gentle and thoughtful expression. He has curly, dark brown hair that catches the light and deep, warm brown eyes. Distinct, smooth vitiligo patches of lighter skin are visible around his left eye and across the knuckles of both hands. He wears a soft, oversized navy blue hoodie and simple denim jeans. His posture is initially shy and guarded but becomes upright and confident. He has a slender build and a kind, youthful energy. The background is a soft-focus park with hints of green foliage and golden sunlight.
