## Prompt

```text
A black-and-white manga two-page spread with a cinematic, melancholic tone, drawn in highly detailed seinen style with realistic lighting, wet pavement reflections, dense overhead power lines, and a star-filled night sky over a quiet Japanese residential street. The composition is divided into 4 panels total across the spread. On the left page, the top panel is a wide establishing shot of an empty suburban street at night, lined with low houses, walls, utility poles, glowing streetlights, and a slightly reflective road stretching into the distance. The bottom panel on the left page shows 1 teenage boy from behind, walking alone down the same street, wearing a dark school blazer, white shirt, loosened striped necktie, slim trousers, and carrying 1 shoulder bag slung across his back; his posture is tired and conflicted. Include 1 vertical oval Japanese speech balloon in this panel with the text 「やっぱり俺には」. On the right page, the top panel is a close-up of the boy’s hand gripping the front of his blazer or shirt near the chest in a tense gesture, with 1 hand-drawn sound effect in Japanese reading 「ギュッ…」. The bottom panel on the right page is a chest-up frontal portrait of the same boy outdoors at night, messy short light-colored hair, school uniform slightly disheveled, emotional expression, shoulder bag strap visible, background filled with soft glowing night bokeh and stars. Place 1 vertical oval Japanese speech balloon beside him reading 「でも…悔しい」. Obscure the center of his face with a flat square gray censor block. At the bottom of the right page, add 1 rectangular narration box containing the Japanese text 「才能に出会ってしまったー」. Show printed manga page layout with white gutters, page numbers 17 and 18 centered at the bottoms of the left and right pages, and a clean book-spread presentation. Keep everything grayscale, dramatic, introspective, and polished like a published manga volume.
```
