Strong rule: style --- Studio Ghibli aesthetic, warm golden hour lighting, soft hand-drawn textures, cozy autumn mountain cabin, vibrant fall colors, cinematic 4K ---. Cabin doorway interior-exterior threshold, snow melting off heavy boots on wooden floor, steam rising faintly, cozy interior glow beyond. Medium shot from inside looking out, transitional inviting mood in melting whites transitioning to warm browns and oranges, symbolizing refuge.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Alex: Mid-30s man with a rugged yet gentle vibe, short tousled chestnut hair with hints of early gray at temples, warm hazel eyes framed by subtle laugh lines, light stubble on a square jaw, athletic build from city hikes now softening into calm. Wears a thick woolen flannel shirt in earthy reds, faded denim pants tucked into sturdy leather boots, a knitted scarf loosely around neck. Hands calloused from recent chores, expression of quiet contentment. Standing in a cozy autumn cabin interior during golden hour, soft hand-drawn textures in Studio Ghibli style, warm ochre tones, flickering firelight casting gentle shadows, wooden beams and fall foliage visible through window, cinematic 4K with vibrant colors and misty forest background. Air of serene resilience and rediscovered joy.
