Create a vertical 2:3 dark gothic anime illustration in a monochrome black, white, and muted silver palette. In a dense, dreamlike forest, show a pale young man with messy blond hair tied in a loose low ponytail, wearing a black formal suit and white shirt, kneeling or bending forward at the lower right. His head is bowed in sorrow and tenderness as he extends one human hand to gently touch one skeletal hand reaching in from the lower left, making exactly two central hands: one living hand and one exposed bone hand. Surround them with thick shadowed foliage, mist, tiny white blossoms, and several large white lilies in the foreground, with a soft vignette and painterly bokeh blur around the edges. Behind them, place tall vertical black-and-white tree trunks like solemn pillars, with cold backlight filtering through fog. Add a single narrow vertical Japanese inscription near the upper center on a dark trunk reading 死は優しく手を引く——. The mood should be elegiac, poetic, and quiet, like a funeral garden at night; use fine ink-like linework, delicate floral detail, high contrast chiaroscuro lighting, subtle film grain, and no modern objects, no extra characters, no watermark.
