Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Cinematic Realistic". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Cinematic Realistic" idiom, not in any other medium. Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly): - Carol: A woman in her early 30s with a lively, expressive face and warm hazel eyes. She has a natural, urban energy, looking slightly disheveled but stylish in her home environment. She is sitting in a sunlit corner of a studio apartment with brick walls and shelves of books in the background. The lighting is soft and warm, highlighting her animated facial expressions as she speaks. She exudes a mix of excitement and vulnerability. - Jacob: A tall man in his mid-30s with sharp, classical features and a charismatic presence. He has deep-set eyes and a well-groomed, stubbled jawline. He is standing on a rain-slicked city street, partially illuminated by the glow of a taxi's interior and grey overcast light. He exudes an aura of effortless grace and accidental mystery, looking down with a polite, charming smile.
