    An anime scene showing 3 characters. 1. a male anime character with a fit, medium build, short slicked-back hair, light mustache, wearing a neatly buttoned work polo with a collared neck and buttoned cuffs, a utility belt with a small battery pack that connects to his eyeglasses, flat chest with no breasts 2. a female anime character with a slim build, delicate face, no facial hair, short wavy hair with a hair pin 3. a female anime character with a petite build, cute face, no facial hair, long hair with a bow hair accessory All characters wear dark purple and silver field research team with a sport aesthetic.
