## Subject / Scene Settings
- Audience: locale="EN"; Narrative tone: mystical, quiet cosmic horror, yearning for the unknown
- Subject type: humanoid silhouette (genderless, faceless)
- Key features: long dark coat; slight hunched posture; small against towering vortex of light; always pure silhouette, no facial features ever visible
- Scale: human-scale figure vs sky-filling abstract light-column; vast empty night plaza
- Motion: slow, hesitant, step-by-step approach; occasional hand reach; subtle coat flutter from wind
- Environment: desolate concrete plaza with faint streetlights; horizon lost in darkness; above, chaotic white filaments forming a spiraling cosmic rift :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
- Lighting: motivated key from blinding vortex; hard-edged backlight; sharp rim/kicker; deep neg fill; minimal bounce; thin haze, subtle volumetric beams
- Grade: strict monochrome (ink black to paper white); high contrast S-curve; slight bloom/halation around lights; soft vignette; medium film grain; tiny chromatic aberration only on edges of light; occasional clean lens flares
- Visual taste: non-photorealistic, hand-drawn 2D anime; scratchy ink / charcoal lines; slight line boil; 16fps frame-dense step animation with occasional smear frames on fast motion
- Background/Location: anonymous urban nowhere; distant lamp posts and power lines indicated by a few sketch strokes
- Camera: mix of WS/MS/CU/ECU; mostly centered or rule-of-thirds compositions; foreground occlusion with drifting ink specks; smooth jib/dolly/orbit; rare handheld micro-jitter gusts
- Lens/Focus: 35–50mm fe
