Deep Focus
Keep the foreground, middle ground and background sufficiently sharp so the viewer can read several layers at once.
Prompt
Render only this one edited view as a single full-width scene. No side-by-side comparison or second version. Use unmistakable deep focus across all three existing depth planes: bring the near stone pier, KaiMiren and his open journal in the middle, and Pi beneath the farther arch into simultaneous clear focus. Make Pi's original human face, short dark hair, red sunglasses and red jacket as clearly readable as the foreground stone texture and KaiMiren's pen. Every existing figure, prop and stone edge stays in the exact same position and apparent size. Only remove the depth blur; preserve the same illumination and colors. The near-to-far sharpness improvement must be obvious at thumbnail size without adding lines, labels or graphics.

Effect comparison
In the baseline image, KaiMiren is relatively sharp while the nearby doorway edge and Pi farther back are softer. Deep focus keeps the foreground doorpost, the notebook-holding figure in the middle ground and the distant Pi in red clothing clear at the same time. With all three distance layers readable, viewers can compare the two figures' positions and their spatial relationship for themselves.
