## Prompt

```text
Goal: Create a vertical four-panel manga/comic page in a gritty hand-painted steampunk urban style. The story is about a frantic young coffee-stand worker riding a mechanical green tyrannosaurus while searching for his smartphone, then discovering it is ringing inside the dinosaur’s mouth.

Canvas: Tall vertical comic page, approximately 9:16 aspect ratio, with a thin black outer border and thick black horizontal gutters dividing exactly 4 stacked panels. Use textured ink, watercolor gouache shading, muted sepia city tones, and dynamic manga speed lines in the final panel.

Main characters: A young adult man with messy curly {hair_color} hair, face intentionally blurred/obscured, wearing a dark work shirt, black pants, boots, leather suspenders, and a stained apron with a small “COFFEE STAND” patch. He holds a metal gooseneck coffee kettle in his left hand throughout. Beside/under him is a large rugged mechanical T-rex with olive-green riveted armor plates, leather saddle and straps, visible seams, sharp white teeth, glowing orange cybernetic eye, and expressive cartoon body language.

Setting: Narrow old city street lined with brick buildings, shop signs, hanging lamps, and coffee-stand signage. Dust, debris, scratches, and paper flecks add motion and chaos. The atmosphere is cinematic, vintage, and slightly absurd.

Panel layout and count: Use exactly 4 panels.
1. Top panel: Wide action shot. The coffee worker rides the armored dinosaur down the street, looking confused and searching himself while holding the kettle. The dinosaur roars with mouth open. Add a small red-and-white mushroom floating above them as a whimsical detail. Include one large white speech bubble on the left with Japanese text: 「あれ？スマホどこだ？」
2. Second panel: The man leans forward and checks the saddle bags/pockets while still holding the kettle. The dinosaur looks sideways with a confused expression and a small question mark near its head. Include one white speech bubble on the left with Japanese text: 「ポケット？サドル？」
3. Third panel: The man raises one finger as if realizing something, still holding the kettle. The dinosaur faces right with its mouth closed, orange eye glowing, making a vibrating/ringing motion. Add Japanese sound effect text near the dinosaur: 「ブルル..」 Include one white speech bubble on the left with Japanese text: 「鳴っておる…？」
4. Bottom panel: Dramatic reveal with radial speed lines and warmer orange energy. The man points toward the dinosaur’s open mouth in shock while holding the kettle. Inside the dinosaur’s mouth, clearly show a smartphone standing upright among the teeth, screen lit with an incoming call interface and Japanese text {phone_screen_text}. Include one large jagged speech bubble on the left with bold Japanese text: 「これじゃ!!」 Add a small sparkle near the dinosaur’s head.

Text and lettering: Preserve the Japanese dialogue exactly as specified, in bold black hand-lettered manga style inside white speech bubbles. Keep all text legible. Do not add extra dialogue beyond the listed bubbles and sound effect.

Style constraints: Highly detailed comic illustration, expressive poses, visible brush texture, black ink outlines, rough paper grain, cinematic lighting, no photorealism, no watermark, no captions outside the comic panels.
