## Before you start

Guidance from Reference, separate from the creator's instructions.

1. Read the reference and inspect the project, installed libraries, and available agent skills before writing code. Reuse suitable tools already present.
2. Prefer the creator-reported libraries and skills when they fit the task. Explain what useful additions help with, and install missing project dependencies or relevant skills from official sources when the environment and the user's existing permissions allow it. Respect the project's package manager and setup rules; do not ask again for routine setup already authorized.
3. Distinguish tools used by the creator from your own recommendations. A listed tool is not automatically required, and an empty tools or requirements list means the setup is unknown, not that nothing is needed.
4. Ask concise questions when missing inputs or choices materially affect the result: paid services, credentials, the user's assets, or a different production approach. Use existing answers and permissions; continue independent work while waiting.
5. If a useful library, skill, or service cannot be installed or used, explain an available alternative and its expected effect on quality, features, or effort. Get the user's choice before a material compromise; otherwise state the fallback and continue. Never silently simplify the result or claim to have used a tool you did not use.

## Prompt

```text
2D anime | romantic comedy | cel-shaded, clean line art, dark blue night palette.
Multishot, 6 shots. Cuts only at the specified points.

CHARACTERS
HANA: wavy shoulder-length dark red hair, oversized gray cardigan with one button missing, a bandage on her index finger. 160 cm.
YUTO: neat black hair with a small bed-head tuft at the back, navy hoodie with a pilled sleeve, glasses pushed up on his forehead. 178 cm.

LOCATION
Dark living room at night. They share one sofa under a single fleece blanket. A TV off-frame in front of them is the only light source, flickering blue on their faces. A bowl of popcorn between them.

SUBTITLES
Spoken dialogue is in Japanese. English subtitles are burned into the image as on-screen text only — they are never spoken aloud. Style: white sans-serif, thin black outline, one single line, bottom center of frame, 8% from the bottom edge. Each subtitle appears with its line and disappears at the cut. Subtitle text is shown inside 【】 brackets below; the brackets themselves are not displayed.

Shot 1 (0–2.5s) — Medium front shot of both, FOV 47, static.
Hana sits upright, arms crossed, smug smile, chin raised. Yuto beside her grips a cushion with both hands, already tense.
Hana (spoken, Japanese): 「全然怖くないし。」
On-screen subtitle: 【I'm not scared at all.】
HARD CUT

Shot 2 (2.5–5s) — Close-up on Yuto, FOV 29, slow push-in ending on his eyes.
His pupils shrink to tiny dots, a vertical column of blue shade lines drops over his upper face, sweat drop on his temple. He swallows, the cushion squeezed flat. No subtitle in this shot.
HARD CUT

Shot 3 (5–8s) — Medium front shot, FOV 47, static.
A violent white flash from the TV and a loud sting. Both jump. Clear gag faces: mouths huge and wavy, eyes white, hair standing in spikes. The popcorn bowl flips and popcorn bursts upward like confetti. Two small white ghost-shaped souls slip out of their open mouths.
Hana and Yuto (spoken, Japanese): 「ぎゃああああっ！」
On-screen subtitle: 【AAAAAAH!】
HARD CUT

Shot 4 (8–10.5s) — Wide shot, FOV 63, static.
They are clutching each other tightly, trembling, their outlines drawn with shaky wobbling lines. Popcorn rains down on them. The souls drift back into their mouths. No subtitle in this shot.
HARD CUT

Shot 5 (10.5–13s) — Two-shot close-up, profile, FOV 29, static.
Silence. They slowly realize how close they are, faces a hand apart. Both blush deep red at the same time. A tiny comic sparkle pops between them. They let go and shuffle apart in short jerky movements. No subtitle in this shot.
HARD CUT

Shot 6 (13–15s) — Close-up on Hana, three-quarter front, FOV 29, static.
Normal detailed anime face: cheeks red, eyes sliding sideways, lips pouting. One popcorn kernel stuck in her hair.
Hana (spoken, Japanese): 「…今のはノーカン。」
On-screen subtitle: 【...That one doesn't count.】
She pulls the blanket up over her nose. End on her eyes peeking above the blanket.

LIGHTING
Only light source is the off-frame TV: flickering cool blue 8500K, with a single white flash in shot 3. Deep shadows in the room.

Sound: No score. Production audio only — faint TV dialogue murmur, a sharp horror sting, popcorn scattering, fabric rustle, double scream, then near silence and a soft blanket rustle. All voices in Japanese only.

Characters keep the same face, hair and wardrobe in every shot. Gag faces are clear, exaggerated super-deformed expressions, then return to the normal detailed anime face. Clean consistent line art, consistent lighting between shots. Subtitles stay in the same position, size and style in every shot, spelled exactly as written. The room contains only the sofa, the blanket and the popcorn bowl.

## What it looks like

Written by Reference from the video frames, not by the creator.

A red-haired woman and dark-haired man watch a horror movie; their expressions shift from calm to exaggerated fear, followed by close-ups of the pair blushing.

- Color: Deep navy and teal surroundings contrast with pale skin, muted blue clothing, and vivid red hair; light blue ghosts add a bright accent.
- Type: Clean, flat-shaded anime illustration with bold outlines, expressive faces, and simplified shapes.
- Framing: The characters are shown together on a couch, then in tight facial close-ups; pale ghost figures appear around the frightened characters.
- Structure: A dark living-room setting with a blue couch and blanket anchors the scene; later frames focus on the characters against darker, less detailed backgrounds.
