Art style: Ghibli / Anime-inspired. A dark, charming cobblestone street lined with colorful, rounded houses. The only light source is a soft, pulsating white glow coming from Buddy's mouth as he runs down the center of the street. In the background, a small grey kitten is seen tumbling over a metal trash can. An owl with enormous, surprised yellow eyes watches from a crooked lamppost. The scene is tense but playful, with deep shadows and vibrant highlights. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 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: Soft hand-drawn anime illustration, delicate linework, painterly backgrounds, airy natural light, gentle colors, peaceful cinematic storytelling atmosphere.
