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): - Elias: A man in his early 40s with a rugged face, short salt-and-pepper hair, and a visible five-o'clock shadow. He has intense, tired hazel eyes that reflect deep concern. He is of athletic build, suggesting a background in manual labor or military service. He is outdoors in a rain-slicked city at night, with harsh red ambient light catching the sharp contours of his jaw and forehead. His expression is one of focused adrenaline and parental protection. - Maya: An 8-year-old girl with large, expressive dark brown eyes and curly chestnut hair tied back in a messy ponytail. She has a small, delicate frame and a youthful, rounded face now pale with fear. Her expression is one of pure shock and vulnerability. She is positioned in a dimly lit space, with the glow of a red digital screen reflecting in her pupils. Her features are soft, contrasting with the hard, mechanical environment around her.
