@luna.bright A realistic, raw vlog-style short video, 10-15 seconds long.
A 40-year-old woman, slightly overweight, with visible signs of aging such as dark spots, uneven skin tone, and fine wrinkles. Minimal or no makeup. Completely natural, unfiltered appearance.
She is standing still on a city street at night during light rain or drizzle, holding her phone herself in a front-facing smartphone selfie video.
The street is wet, with reflections on the ground. Soft, blinking Christmas lights and subtle holiday decorations appear in the background. A streetlight behind her provides dim, uneven lighting.
The camera movement is handheld and imperfect, clearly like a real phone recording. No cinematic stabilization, no stylized camera work.
She looks directly at the camera with a melancholic, helpless expression. Her eyes appear tired and slightly lost.
She speaks quietly and evenly, like talking to herself, not performing. As she speaks, she slowly and unconsciously steps a little closer to the camera, following the rhythm of her words.
She says naturally in spoken English:
“10 days until 2026.
I followed the rules.
I stayed responsible.
I didn’t quit easily.
Still, the ground kept shifting under my feet.”
There is no text or subtitles on screen.
Background sounds are soft and unfocused: light rain, distant cars, quiet city noise.
After finishing the last line, she lowers her head and looks down at the ground.
The phone camera follows her gaze naturally, tilting downward to show the wet pavement beneath her feet.
The video ends with the camera pointed at the ground, rain visible on the street surface.
Lighting is natural urban night lighting, uneven and imperfect.
