## Prompt

```text
Create a square music video thumbnail / album-cover style image showing a young Japanese woman with a short black bob haircut and pale skin standing in a softly blurred urban train-station or street setting. She wears a dark navy or black coat over a light beige scarf or sweater and looks down with a calm, introspective expression at a warm white takeaway cup held in both hands near her chest. The composition is a tight waist-up candid portrait, subject placed slightly left of center, with shallow depth of field, muted winter colors, natural overcast daylight, cinematic realism, gentle film grain, and a cozy melancholic mood. Use the customizable subject as {character_description}, outfit as {outfit}, held object as {held_object}, location as {location}, and mood as {mood}. No text, no logo, no watermark, no extra people in focus.
```
