The prompts

Pulled out of the rendered clip. This is the prompt that made the shot in the film.

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. [reference generation] Generate a single ECU shot of <Picture 1>, <Picture 2> — ECU on their joined hands at their sides, fingers interlaced the same way as at dinner — a detail withheld before the final wide reveal.

retention_analysis:
<Picture 1>: identity, proportions, current wardrobe/state, and rendering style retained exactly as shown in the reference.

<Picture 3>: architecture and layout retained exactly; 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. ECU · eye-level · static shot. Tight on just the hands; everything else out of frame. Mirrors the detail-first technique used for Mia's introduction in scene_01, now applied to the couple as a unit at the story's close — see scene-construction.md's Character Introduction Techniques (the same principle generalizes to any reveal beat, not only introductions). ECU on their joined hands at their sides, fingers interlaced the same way as at dinner — a detail withheld before the final wide reveal. <Picture 1> (Mia): hand joined with Theo's, fingers interlaced, held at her side. <Picture 2> (Theo): hand joined with Mia's, fingers interlaced, held at his side. Lighting: Warm streetlight glow, soft falloff. Withholds the full embrace for one beat before s3_07's wide reveal.
