Full-length view, the entire figure visible from head to feet, standing upright and centered in a cozy apartment hallway lit by warm daylight. Max is a young father in his late twenties, slim but slightly soft build, average height. He has a friendly oval face, light warm skin, short tousled brown hair, light stubble, and expressive dark-brown eyes that beam with delighted exhaustion — a tired-but-overjoyed new-dad smile. He wears a soft heather-grey crewneck t-shirt, an unbuttoned casual olive flannel shirt over it, rolled sleeves, comfortable dark-blue slim jeans, and clean white canvas sneakers. A cluster of pink balloons is tied to his wrist, and he carefully cradles a baby car-seat carrier in both arms. Relaxed, loving, energetic posture, slightly leaning as if just stepping inside.
