Create a simplistic cartoon-style image of a man sitting in a corner. The man should be curled into a ball, with his arms wrapped around his knees and his hands blocking his ears. Use a soft, muted color palette to convey a sense of calm and vulnerability. The background should be a plain, light color with subtle lines indicating the corner. The man should have a gentle, distressed expression with large, expressive eyes and a frown. The overall style should be minimalistic and clean, capturing the man's emotional state while maintaining a simplistic and cartoony look.
