Black and white manga illustration with traditional hand-drawn aesthetics. Fine linework with detailed hatching and cross-hatching for shadows and textures. Inspired by Latin American indie horror manga like "Wari", with soft facial expressions, melancholic atmosphere, and realistic child proportions. Highly detailed clothing in early 20th-century rural style: buttoned shirts, long skirts, ponchos, and old-fashioned shoes. Characters have large, expressive eyes, small noses and mouths, and tired or introspective looks. Scene set in a quiet forest, with bark textures, scattered leaves, and lightly textured skies. Soft lighting with contrast between characters and background. Manga panel framing, with natural posing and clear emotional tone.
Scene: A wounded boy limps through the forest holding his side, his shirt stained with blood. A younger girl emerges from behind a tree, rushing toward him with worry.
Characters: 2 children. Alpha — taller, with short, messy white hair, buttoned shirt half-open, face pained but alert, light blue eyes. Beta — shorter, beautiful, with long white hair in a loose braid, wearing a long skirt and shawl, eyes wide with concern, hands slightly lifted as if unsure whether tocarlo o curarlo.
Environment: Dense forest at dusk, light filtering softly through the trees, fallen leaves covering the ground, shadows creeping between trunks.
