Gothic Puppeteer and Spider Lilies

Create a dark gothic anime illustration in a tall vertical 2:3 portrait format. Center a slender androgynous young man named {argument name="character name" default="unnamed pale blond youth"} with {argument name="hair color" default="pale ash blond"} messy medium-length hair covering one eye, a faint unsettling smile, and one hand raised thoughtfully to his chin. Dress him in a formal black suit with a white shirt, ornate brooches, chains, and small dangling accessories, rendered in elegant high-detail linework. Behind him, place a towering ritual figure like a black-robed puppeteer or deity with a large inverted triangular metallic mask, black ornamental markings on the mask, and a crown-like geometric halo above it. Use a strict symmetrical composition with a glowing white halo behind the youth’s head, thin golden threads radiating outward like a web, and a black-and-white vertical striped curtain in the background. Surround the subjects with exactly 10 white spider lily flowers: 2 near the masked figure’s shoulders, 2 large flowers at the youth’s mid-left and mid-right, 2 small flowers beside the youth’s lower torso, 2 large flowers near the bottom left and bottom right, and 2 smaller flowers tucked into the lower side foliage. Include exactly 8 pale skeletal porcelain-like hands emerging from darkness: 2 raised near the upper left and upper right, 2 reaching horizontally at mid-left and mid-right, 2 clawing upward at lower left and lower right, and 2 large foreground hands reaching from the bottom corners. The mood should be ominous, elegant, theatrical, and religiously ceremonial, with a monochrome palette of {argument name="main palette" default="black, ivory white, silver gray, and faint antique gold"}, high contrast rim lighting, smoky shadows, delicate floral filaments, crystalline highlights, and dense painterly detail. No text, no watermark, no modern objects, no bright colors.
