The prompt

Checked against the prompt embedded in the rendered clip: identical.

subject_definitions:
<Subject 1> is Mia, a mid-20s woman in <Picture 1>, preserving her face, dark wavy shoulder-length hair, and a cream belted trench coat worn open over a green wrap dress.
<Subject 2> is Theo, a mid-20s man in <Picture 2>, preserving his face, short dark hair, a blue denim jacket, and a white crew-neck shirt.
<Subject 3> is the quiet residential street after dinner in <Picture 3>, preserving the row of brownstone townhouses with lit windows and stoops, the sidewalk running along them, the cast-iron streetlight partway down the block, the damp asphalt reflecting the light, and the cars parked at the kerb.

summary:
Slow, soft, contemplative pacing. Warm diffused light, static or slow camera moves, generous negative space. [reference generation] Generate a single CU shot of <Subject 1>, <Subject 2> — Close on their faces, foreheads nearly touching, a quiet tender beat.

retention_analysis:
<Subject 1> (appears throughout): fully_preserved - retain her face, dark wavy shoulder-length hair, and a cream belted trench coat worn open over a green wrap dress; same proportions and the same wardrobe in every frame of the clip.
<Subject 2> (appears throughout): fully_preserved - retain his face, short dark hair, a blue denim jacket, and a white crew-neck shirt; same proportions and the same wardrobe in every frame of the clip.
<Subject 3> (appears throughout): fully_preserved - retain the row of brownstone townhouses with lit windows and stoops, the sidewalk running along them, the cast-iron streetlight partway down the block, the damp asphalt reflecting the light, and the cars parked at the kerb; sets this clip's framing.

detailed_description:
[Shot 1] Style: Photorealistic digital cinematography — rendered as if captured on a real camera, with natural real-world materials, textures, and lighting (skin, fabric, wood, glass, etc., all rendered with real photographic texture). Not illustrated, not animated, not a cartoon, not CGI-rendered, not a painting. One continuous CU · eye-level · static shot. No cuts, camera movement of any kind, identity swapping, wardrobe or costume changes, duplicate or extra people, or readable text. Tight two-shot close-up, framed close from the very first frame — do not open on a wide or establishing view and do not pull back at any point; held, no movement, no camera drift. Close on their faces, foreheads nearly touching, a quiet tender beat. <Subject 1> (Mia): close, foreheads nearly touching, hands still loosely joined at their sides, tender. <Subject 2> (Theo): close, foreheads nearly touching, hands still loosely joined at their sides, tender. Lighting: Warm streetlight glow, soft falloff. Blocking must match s3_04's clip exactly — same relative positions.

overall_soundscape:
Near silence: the faintest wash of distant city hum.
