This is a single frozen instant (mid action) — no motion blur, no action chained. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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: dark graphic-novel illustration — gritty comic book art style, heavy black inking, bold outlines, detailed cross-hatching and dramatic shading. Exaggerated character features, intense expressions, deep wrinkles, highly defined musculature. High contrast lighting. Desaturated grim background colors (grays, browns) with stark contrasting pop-color elements. Satirical and edgy atmosphere, masterpiece comic art. Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Sarah: A woman in her mid-30s with a tired, pale complexion and dark circles under her expressive brown eyes. She has shoulder-length, wavy chestnut hair that is slightly messy. She wears a soft, oversized cream-colored knit sweater. Her posture is slightly slumped, conveying a sense of emotional weight. She is captured in soft, natural morning light within a minimalist apartment setting. - Mark: A man in his late 30s with a sharp, defined jawline and short, neatly groomed black hair. He has intense, piercing blue eyes and a calm, almost porcelain-like complexion. He wears a dark navy, high-collared tailored shirt. His expression is neutral and controlled. He is framed against a background of cold, dark architectural lines and subtle shadows.
