Art style: photorealistic cinematic live-action, minimalist staging, muted village-evening palette, high-contrast light and shadow, natural faces and motion. Arya, shown full-length from head to feet, standing upright in a dim village-house hallway, the whole figure centered with the wooden-walled interior filling the sides. A woman in her early forties, average height, slender but sturdy build from farm work. Oval face with warm olive-fair skin, faint laugh lines, tired expressive brown eyes, straight nose, soft lips. Dark chestnut hair streaked with grey, pulled back into a loose low bun with a few strands escaping, damp at the temples. She wears a faded floral headscarf loosened at the neck, a worn grey knitted cardigan over a dark long-sleeved dress, and a canvas apron. Her hands are rough and bare. On her feet: muddy rubber galoshes. Expression frozen in dawning alarm, lips parted, gaze dropping toward wet footprints on the floorboards. Evening gloom, long shadows. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "photorealistic cinematic live-action, minimalist staging, muted village-evening palette, high-contrast light and shadow, natural faces and motion" style.
