Create an illustration in the style of Edward Gorey, inspired by the scene of two students waiting at a train crossing from the uploaded image. Use meticulous cross-hatching techniques to build shadows and textures, paying special attention to the details of the train, the characters' school uniforms, and the subtle elements of the environment. The characters should be depicted with simplified and slightly elongated forms, standing stiffly and facing the train with neutral, emotionless expressions to evoke a sense of detachment and mystery. Position them in a minimalist background with the train taking up most of the composition, leaving ample negative space to create a sense of emptiness. Incorporate a few symbolic elements, such as a lone crow perched on a signpost or a faint silhouette in the train window, to add a hint of unease and surrealism. The composition should emphasize a feeling of stillness and anticipation, characteristic of Gorey’s style, while using fine details to create an intricate and unsettling atmosphere.
