Art style: Anime.
The final shot returns to the devastated cityscape at night, now completely dark except for the glow of distant fires. The camera captures the scene from the same high angle as the opening, creating visual bookends. The skeletal remains of buildings stand against a starless sky. The atmosphere is one of absolute finality and loss. The color palette is dominated by deep blacks, the orange glow of fires, and the absence of any other light.

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:
2D anime cartoon animation — cel-shaded illustration, bold clean black outlines, flat anime shading, hand-drawn anime look with anime facial features and stylised non-realistic rendering of objects, food and environments. NOT photorealistic, NOT live-action, NOT a 3D render, NOT real footage.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
