Art style: Anime. Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright and centered in a dim underground school archive — a secretive male school librarian in his early fifties. Tall, lean, slightly stooped build. Gaunt pale face with sharp cheekbones, deep-set grey eyes behind thin wire-rimmed glasses, a tight humorless mouth, and short greying hair combed severely back, with trimmed grey stubble. He wears a charcoal three-piece suit beneath a buttoned dark-green cardigan, a narrow tie, and a worn leather satchel strapped across his chest. One hand grips an old brass key ring; the other rests on a stack of files. Scuffed black leather oxford shoes. Towering shelves of dusty ledgers, flickering bulbs, chained archive doors and scattered student notes fill the shadowy space behind him. His expression is cold, grief-hardened, quietly vengeful. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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.
