Comedic Manga Roadside Horse Scene

Create a single black-and-white comic panel using refined seinen (young adult comic) line art, with halftone shading and a thick black rectangular border. The scene is set on a rural fantasy roadside under a bright, cloudy sky, with a background of distant mountains, trees, fence posts, rocks, grass, and a wooden road sign pointing to the right, which reads:{argument name="road sign text" default="The path towards hope (probably) →"} In the center of the foreground lies a massive, dead horse, lying on its side, eyes closed, legs bent, a tiny, ghostly wisp rising from its back, displaying a dizzying, deathly expression. To its left stands an elegant blonde noblewoman, dressed in a ruffled Gothic Lolita dress, a dark coat, a cinched waist, and a ribbon, her curly hair tied in a bow; her face is blurred by a soft gray rectangle, she confidently crosses her arms, a glittering symbol beside her hinting at her smug certainty. Above her is a vertical oval Japanese speech bubble, containing…{argument name="left speech bubble text" default="This is torture."} Standing to the right was a young woman with long black hair, dressed in a simple shirt and vest dress, her face also blurred by a soft gray rectangle; she raised a finger to her chin in confusion, a small question mark above her head. Above her was a vertical oval Japanese speech bubble, containing the following text:{argument name="right speech bubble text" default="What is this?"} The image must contain exactly two human characters, exactly two large speech bubbles, exactly one question mark, exactly one flashing symbol, exactly one wooden road sign, exactly one dead horse, and exactly one puff of ghostly smoke. It should employ clear ink lines, expressive cartoon composition, realistic background textures, an absurd fantasy comedy tone, and a high-resolution monochrome print style.
