## Prompt

```text
Using the provided reference image, restore and enhance it into a clean, realistic cinematic portrait while preserving the same subject, pose, composition, wet-hair look, black sleeveless outfit, backlit subway-platform setting, and moody atmosphere. Remove the dirty glass/reflection overlay, stains, haze, and visual noise from the reference. Reconstruct obscured facial and body details naturally, making the face, skin, hair strands, shoulder, back, and clothing clearer and more lifelike without changing the identity or framing. Slightly sharpen the image, improve contrast, and apply natural color correction with warm golden backlight and subdued green-black shadows. Keep the background softly blurred and atmospheric, with the platform lights and distant silhouettes remaining out of focus. The final result should look like a realistically restored, high-quality editorial photo rather than an overprocessed image.
```
