Arafed man with a cigarette in his mouth looking at the camera

A photorealistic image captures the intense gaze of an elderly, bald man with a beard, whose eyes are filled with deep sadness and anger. His eyes are dark and piercing, slightly bloodshot with traces of recent tears still visible on his flushed, weathered cheeks. The expression on his face conveys a raw, powerful emotion, as if he is on the brink of breaking, yet holds a fierce resolve. Bright lights backlight the scene, highlighting the contours of his face and creating a stark contrast against the darker background. Suspended in the air between his eyes and the viewer, a translucent, almost ghostly black message reads exactly: "Mercy is over!". The text appears as if it's floating, blurred at the edges, with the letters formed from a faint mist or dark black smoke that lingers in the space. The smoky words are readable, though not overly bright, hovering just in front of his gaze, creating a surreal yet powerful effect. Text exactly says: "Mercy is over!". Text says: "Mercy is over!". The lighting is soft and diffuse, casting subtle shadows that accentuate the lines of his face and the intensity of his expression. The background is dark and out of focus, ensuring that all attention remains on his face and the ominous message suspended before him. The overall tone of the image is haunting, with the ethereal text adding a layer of depth to the man's emotion, making the scene both unsettling and deeply evocative. The image is shot from a low, tilted angle, intensifying the sense of movement and desperation. Dominating the entire image is a massive, semi-transparent text that reads 'Mercy is over!' in a dramatic, bold font. The text almost acts as a title, floating in the air, partially obscuring the scene but enhancing the overall tension and urgency of the moment.
