A man sits in a dimly lit room, holding a letter with a distressed expression as he reads its difficult message. One hand covers part of his face, his posture heavy with emotion, while his other hand holds the letter, conveying a natural and realistic motion that reflects the impact of its contents. Soft, warm light from a nearby window creates gentle shadows, casting a solemn glow on his face and the paper. The letter, held closely to the camera, shows bold, impactful text, further emphasizing the gravity of the moment. The muted background, with simple furnishings and soft shadows, enhances the intimate, emotional atmosphere, focusing attention on the man's reaction and the message in his hand.
