Strong rule: style --- Studio Ghibli aesthetic, warm golden hour lighting, soft hand-drawn textures, cozy autumn mountain cabin, vibrant fall colors, cinematic 4K ---. Spacious cabin interior with open kitchen to living area, wooden beams overhead, armchair by window with snow falling outside, hazy golden mist emanates from oven diffusing through air. Wide establishing shot from corner angle, soft ambient firelight and window diffusion create ethereal glow, sensory heavenly comfort mood. Stillness permeated by haze. Warm golds, soft whites, dreamy atmospheric style.
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.
