2D animated storyboard frame, matching the drawing style of the reference images: clean confident ink linework, flat cel colours with soft cinematic lighting and gentle graphic-novel shading, stylised but grounded proportions, expressive faces. Characters must match their reference model sheets. A crowd's faces turned upward as grey cloud above Trafalgar Square glows orange from within, and a column of fire slams down in harsh, colourless, blown-out white light, a stone plinth smoking red at the edge. In close foreground, Maya's upturned face (short black hair), gold light dying across it, her red scarf the one warm thing left. Overwhelming, counterfeit spectacle. No text, no letters, no logos, no captions.
