A young man with short dark hair, wearing a light checkered shirt, stands outdoors near a waterfront area. Behind him, a modern glass building and a body of water are visible, with people walking around the area. The background includes a cityscape with buildings and a ship. The sky is clear with soft blue tones, suggesting it is daytime.
