Art style: Ghibli / Anime-inspired.
Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright, a young boy of about seven centered in the frame. He has a round soft face with plump cheeks, warm light skin, large curious dark-brown eyes, and a small button nose. His messy chestnut hair falls in soft tufts over his forehead, slightly damp at the tips. He wears an oversized mustard-yellow rain jacket left open, a pale blue-and-white striped shirt underneath, rolled-up denim shorts, and knee-length dark rubber boots speckled with mud. One hand grips a red umbrella resting on his shoulder. He stands at the edge of a shallow rain puddle that mirrors his reflection, on a wet cobblestone street lined with lush green shrubs and a soft overcast sky. His expression is gentle wonder, faint hopeful smile, gazing down at the water. Damp air, scattered raindrops around him.
