subject_definitions: <Picture 1> = Mia, Mid-20s woman, dark wavy hair, green wrap dress; Adds a light coat over the green wrap dress for the night walk <Picture 2> = Theo, Mid-20s man, short dark hair, denim jacket over a white shirt <Picture 3> = Quiet residential street after dinner, streetlights, damp reflective pavement — Wide 3D architectural view of the residential street: the sidewalk run and a streetlight partway down the block summary: Slow, soft, contemplative pacing. Warm diffused light, static or slow camera moves, generous negative space.
