Art style: Studio Ghibli. A quiet, narrow cobblestone street in a quaint village at midnight. Tall, timber-framed houses lean inward, their windows dark and silent. A single iron gas lamp flickers, casting a pool of warm yellow light on the wet stones. Wisps of white fog curl around the base of the buildings. Shot from a wide-angle, low-to-the-ground perspective looking up the street. The mood is peaceful and mysterious. The color palette features deep navy blues, charcoal greys, and the warm glow of the lamplight. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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): - Elias: A man in his mid-30s with an ethereal, translucent appearance and a soft cyan luminescence. He has a kind, symmetrical face with high cheekbones and deep-set, empathetic blue eyes. His hair is short and slightly tousled, appearing like wisps of silver smoke. He wears a simple, timeless outfit consisting of a button-down cream shirt with rolled-up sleeves and dark, tailored trousers. His posture is relaxed yet attentive. The lighting is low and atmospheric, highlighting his transparent form against a backdrop of a quiet, moonlit cobblestone street. He exudes a calm, protective energy.
