Art style: Cinematic Realistic.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright, centered — a man in his early forties acting as the story's narrator. Lean but grounded build, medium height, slightly weary posture with hands loosely in his coat pockets. Oval face, warm olive skin, faint lines around thoughtful hazel eyes, short dark brown hair lightly greying at the temples, neatly kept short stubble along the jaw. He wears a charcoal-grey wool overcoat open over a plain dark knit sweater, slim dark trousers, and scuffed brown leather ankle shoes. Expression calm and quietly melancholic, a distant reflective gaze. He stands on a wet city sidewalk at night, blurred amber streetlamps and rain-slicked pavement filling the sides, a soft mist behind him.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Realistic" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Cinematic Realistic". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Cinematic Realistic" idiom, not in any other medium.
