A quiet European-inspired city street at dusk, where the protagonist lives before discovering magic. Cobblestone streets, old stone and brick buildings, vintage shop windows, lanterns casting warm glows. Ivy creeping on walls, soft shadows, muted colors, slightly foggy atmosphere. People walking in the distance, bicycles or carts, subtle city life. Perspective: slightly elevated street view with depth. Style: painterly, storybook realism, moody and atmospheric. Color palette: dark browns, deep grays, soft warm lights, muted gold accents. High detail, rich textures, cinematic lighting, dark academia aesthetic.
