Art style: Anime.
Akira's face close up, shouting the truth. A brief, ghostly image of the carriage accident is superimposed over the scene. She looks devastated by her own confession. Emotional anime storytelling.

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:
2D anime cartoon animation — cel-shaded illustration, bold clean black outlines, flat anime shading, hand-drawn anime look with anime facial features and stylised non-realistic rendering of objects, food and environments. NOT photorealistic, NOT live-action, NOT a 3D render, NOT real footage.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Akira: A young woman in her early twenties with long, flowing raven-black hair and soulful, melancholic violet eyes. She has a slender, graceful build and wears an elegant, high-collared navy blue dress with silver embroidery. A delicate silver pendant hangs around her neck. Her expression is often one of hidden grief and weary wisdom. In the final scenes, she appears as a mature woman in her late thirties with a few fine lines of experience, her hair tied back neatly. Anime art style, high detail, soft cinematic lighting, ethereal atmosphere, vibrant colors, clean linework.
