"prompt": "Cinematic film stills in a triptych format, neo-noir style. A solitary man in his late 30s walks through a rain-slicked city street at night. The city is bathed in cool teal and blue tones from ambient light, contrasted with warm orange and yellow from neon signs and traffic lights, which reflect on the wet pavement. The first panel is a wide shot from behind, the second a tight, emotional close-up of his face, and the third shows him lighting a cigarette under an overpass. Moody, atmospheric, shallow depth of field, high contrast.",
