Style: Black-and-white, dramatic shading, noir-inspired, high contrast, sketch-style lines; focus on tension and emotion, not faces. Scene Description: A narrow, dimly lit alleyway at night, wet pavement reflecting a flickering streetlight. Smoke and dust drift through the air after a burst of gunfire. A metal dumpster shows fresh bullet holes. Shadows stretch sharply along the walls. Characters (All 17 years old): Boy 1: crouched behind cover, slightly shaken, looking toward the girl with confusion and hurt. Boy 2: standing still in front of the girl, posture firm, unreadable expression, as if expecting the betrayal. The Girl: standing a few steps away from them, holding a gun lowered at her side, her silhouette half in shadow. Her body language shows conflict—tension in the shoulders, slight shake in the hand that just aimed at them. Key Visual Elements: A faint trail of smoke spiraling from the girl’s gun. Long, dramatic shadows cast by the single streetlight. Subtle texture on the walls and pavement to show grit and danger. The girl’s face partially obscured by darkness to enhance mystery. The boys’ expressions shown mostly through posture, not detailed facial features. Optional: a small flash-drive-sized object visible in Boy 2’s clenched hand.
