A dimly lit, antique bookstore with towering wooden shelves filled with dusty books. In the center, a 9-year-old cute girl with short black hair and deep, reflective eyes stands frozen, her small hands clutching an ancient hourglass. As she touches it, golden sand begins to defy gravity, swirling upward in luminous streams. Shadows stretch unnaturally around her, and ghostly echoes of future events flicker in the air like shattered glass reflections. Photorealistic, The atmosphere is mystical yet ominous, blending fantasy and noir aesthetics with rich textures and dramatic lighting.
