This is a single frozen instant (action start) — 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: 16-bit pixel-art blended with modern webtoon comic illustration in a retro 90s anime aesthetic — crisp thick black outlines, cel-shaded coloring with flat colors and hard dramatic shadows. Gritty urban lo-fi hip-hop vibe. Moody atmospheric lighting with vibrant neon accents (purple, magenta, red) on dark backgrounds. Subtle CRT scanline overlay, glowing elements, expressive sharp anime-influenced features, streetwear clothing. Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Leo: A young man in his early 20s with messy short brown hair and bright hazel eyes. He has an athletic but lean build and a constant expression of excitement. He is positioned in a neutral indoor setting with soft ambient light hitting his face, highlighting his sharp jawline and energetic demeanor. The background is a soft-focus living room with tech gadgets visible on shelves. - Maya: A young woman in her early 20s with long, straight black hair and thick-rimmed rectangular glasses. She has an observant gaze and a playful smirk. She is shown in a room lit by the cool blue glow of a computer screen, creating high-contrast shadows on her face. Her background consists of a collection of gaming figurines on a wooden desk.
