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. Character identity reference (face, age, build and clothing only): - The Dark-Haired Student: A slim 15-year-old boy with messy untamed jet-black hair falling over his forehead, pale skin with faint winter-pink cheeks, bright green eyes, a thoughtful slightly melancholic expression, wearing a long black wool school robe, a burgundy-and-gold striped knitted scarf wrapped twice around his neck, and dark wool gloves, standing in a stone tower with an arched window behind him showing snowfall, cool blue window light mixed with warm candle glow, quiet and introspective. - The Bushy-Haired Student: in a candlelit gothic castle corridor. A 15-year-old girl, bright-eyed and determined, with very bushy voluminous light-brown hair falling past her shoulders in thick waves, slightly frizzy. Fair skin with a faint rosy flush from the cold, warm brown eyes, lightly freckled cheeks, a small confident smile. Slim but sturdy build, average teenage height. She wears a heavy charcoal-grey wool school uniform: a knitted jumper with a crimson-and-gold striped scarf wrapped around her neck, a pleated grey skirt, dark woollen tights, and sturdy black leather lace-up ankle boots. A long black wool coat over her shoulders dusted with snowflakes. She clutches an old leather-bound book to her chest. Soft amber candlelight, deep shadows, falling snow drifting past tall windows behind her. - The Red-Haired Boy: a tall, lanky 15-year-old boy, the youngest of a large red-haired family. Fair freckled skin faintly flushed from the cold, bright blue eyes, a narrow friendly face with a slightly long nose and a lopsided grin. Shaggy copper-red hair, tousled and a little overgrown, flopping over the forehead. Thin, gangly build with long arms and a growth-spurt awkwardness. He wears a chunky hand-knitted maroon wool jumper over a white collared shirt, a loosely knotted school tie, dark trousers, a thick grey winter scarf, and scuffed black leather lace-up school shoes dusted with snow. Hands tucked in pockets, breath misting, looking slightly off-camera with warm nostalgia. Setting: a snowy stone courtyard of an ancient gothic castle at blue-hour, lantern glow and falling snow behind him.
