Art style: Dark Comic.
An empty, minimalist apartment at night, viewed from a wide angle. The room is cast in deep shadows and cold blue light from a large window showing a sprawling city skyline. Maria is a small figure in the center, curled up on the floor, head in her hands, trembling. Style: Dark Comic, high contrast, minimalist character design.

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):
- Maria: A woman in her early 30s, with tired, expressive eyes and messy dark hair. She wears simple, dark clothing. Her face is drawn with sharp lines and deep shadows, emphasizing her emotional state. Minimalist dark comic book art style.
