Three boys, about 9 years old: Milo (short straight brown hair, clean blue jacket, folded square cloth in pocket) stands left foreground, touching a glass railing; Jun (messy black hair, bright yellow t‑shirt) stands center slightly back, smiling and pointing toward the bridge; Tariq (dark curly hair, light green sweatshirt) stands right near Jun holding a round cookie and watching a small maintenance drone hovering nearby. Location: suspended gardens of a futuristic city — a floating green platform with hanging shrub baskets, starry illuminated paving, small waterfalls in visible silver conduits beneath glass panels, a silver metal footbridge (Switchbridge) and transparent rails at the rear, soft pastel skyscrapers and stacked mobile modules in the background. Scene: the boys on the platform near the bridge retrieving a small leaf‑shaped chip held by the maintenance drone; soft midday light, calm orderly atmosphere, subtle background motion (sliding bridge, rearranging modules), bright flat‑design style with pastel contrasts, crisp shapes and simple silhouettes.
