Art style: cinematic live-action psychological thriller, A24 x Black Mirror; muted desaturated palette, cold blue-teal tones with one warm accent (yellow lamp, orange streetlight); low-key lighting, heavy shadows, in-frame practical light source (lamp, phone screen, window glow); rain, fog, condensation on glass; many shots through glass and reflections; static or slow smooth camera, crash-zoom on face at shock beats; unified cold LUT</parameter> <parameter name="aspect_ratio">9:16. SETTING: A modest, lived-in apartment entryway and open kitchen at night, cold and dim. A narrow hallway opens into a small kitchen with a laminate countertop, a stainless steel kettle, and a few unwashed dishes. Rain lashes against an unseen window, the room lit low. COMPOSITION & CAMERA: Medium-wide upright static shot, eye-level, Emma framed in the middle of the vertical 9:16 frame as she enters, the doorway behind her, the kitchen counter to her side, no tilt. LIGHTING: Dominant cold blue-teal ambient wash filling the room from the rainy night outside, contrasted by the single warm amber lamp glow on the counter creating one pocket of warmth against the cold. MOOD & ATMOSPHERE: Mundane exhaustion, ordinary end-of-workday fatigue, quiet and unremarkable — deliberately safe before the unease. CHARACTER ACTION & EXPRESSION: Emma stands just inside the doorway, keys slipping from her fingers toward the counter, shoulders slumped with tiredness, a faint weary exhale, eyes half-lidded. COLORS: Desaturated cold teal and slate blue dominating, a single warm amber accent from the lamp, muted neutral grays. TEXTURES & MATERIALS: Brushed stainless steel of the kettle catching cold light, matte laminate countertop, the dull metal of dropped keys, worn painted wall surfaces, a faint sheen of rainwater on the window glass beyond. DEPTH & LAYERS: Foreground the counter edge and dropped keys; midground Emma standing in the entry; background the dark hallway and a rain-streaked window glowing faint teal. WEATHER & PARTICLES: Heavy rain streaking the distant window, faint steam beginning to rise, cold air visualized in the blue haze. MICRO-DETAILS: Keys mid-drop catching a glint of lamplight, water droplets sliding down the far window, a bead of condensation forming, the kettle's spout, a wall clock reading late evening, a coat still on Emma's shoulders. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "cinematic live-action psychological thriller, A24 x Black Mirror; muted desaturated palette, cold blue-teal tones with one warm accent (yellow lamp, orange streetlight); low-key lighting, heavy shadows, in-frame practical light source (lamp, phone screen, window glow); rain, fog, condensation on glass; many shots through glass and reflections; static or slow smooth camera, crash-zoom on face at shock beats; unified cold LUT</parameter> <parameter name="aspect_ratio">9:16" style.
