Modern stylized pixel art in the visual register of Owlboy, Eastward, and Hyper Light Drifter. Crisp pixel grid with chunky intentional pixels, sharp edges, clean color boundaries, no anti-aliasing. Strong readable silhouettes, disciplined palette with deep shadows and rim-lit highlights. Game-cinematic mood, parallax depth.

Same bisected vertical composition. Upper half: same digital iris pupil but its hollow white square now pulses red-orange instead of blue. Lower half: same scroll-victim silhouette in same posture, still hunched, phone in hand — the phone screen light on their face is now tinted magenta-red. The data-tendrils between iris and person are now thick, fast, pulsing red-magenta. A red prediction-arrow appears in mid-frame pointing at the next thumbnail BEFORE the silhouette's thumb has moved. Same dark bedroom below, same phone-bezel above. Iris casts warmer red light downward, replacing the cold blue. Mood: pre-emption, unsettling lead, mind hijacked. CONTINUITY HOOK: on the phone screen reflection, the scroll-victim's mirror-face shows a faint physical/digital split forming on the forehead, suggesting this is happening to you.
