The prompt
Re-render this image in Studio Ghibli's domestic-interior register, hand-painted animation direction with layered watercolor background painting. Subject indoors near a window, three-quarter angle or profile, soft and composed. Window occupies significant frame area at one side: rain on glass rendered with vertical streaks of water and visible runs, world outside reduced to soft-focus blue-gray suggestion of trees-or-buildings-or-streetscape, rain-light defraction creating gentle bokeh. Interior lighting: warm yellow practical lamp from low angle within the room, contrasting against cool blue rain-light from window. Visible interior details rendered with painterly warmth: wooden floor or tatami, a small detail (cup of tea, book, flower in vase, cat on windowsill), soft fabric (curtain, blanket, clothing) painted with visible wet-on-wet brush-pooling. Cel-animation linework on subject: clean single-weight ink, slight imperfection at line ends, expression composed and contemplative. Mood: domestic warmth against external weather, the small lit room against the wet world, time-slowed, the rain as gentle companion not threat. No legible text, no studio watermark, no specific signage outside window. Aspect ratio 4:3 or 16:9 matching source. Preserve the subject and composition of the source image exactly, change only the medium and rendering.
