## Prompt

```text
Goal: Create a monochrome Japanese manga-style diary comic about an overworked office hamster employee, with a dry humorous tone about being interrupted during lunch.

Canvas: Vertical black-and-white manga page, approximately 2:3 aspect ratio, thick black outer border and thick gutters. Use detailed grayscale pencil/ink shading, screentone-like texture, clean line art, and a realistic open-plan office background with desks, monitors, chairs, fluorescent ceiling lights, glass doors, and office phones.

Layout: Use exactly 6 panels. Top row has 3 panels: two narrow office-time panels and one wider entrance panel. Middle row has 2 panels: a phone-call panel on the left and lunch panel on the right. Bottom row is 1 large dramatic panel spanning the full width.

Character: The protagonist is a cute round dwarf hamster employee, fluffy and realistic but expressive, with small ears, glossy black eyes, tiny paws, and no clothes. Show the hamster exactly 6 times: 1) collapsed into a melted exhausted pile at a low desk after four hours, 2) sitting upright at the desk after one hour, 3) entering the office holding a small briefcase, 4) answering a large desk phone receiver, 5) eating noodles during lunch, 6) angrily gripping the phone receiver in the dramatic final panel.

Panel details:
- Panel 1, top left: Empty open office in the background. The hamster is slumped like a flattened furry puddle beside a small low desk with papers and a pencil cup. Steam-like exhaustion wisps rise from the body. A vertical caption box reads {four_hour_caption}.
- Panel 2, top center: Same office and low desk. The hamster sits alert at the desk with stacked documents, a notebook, and a pencil cup. A vertical caption box reads {one_hour_caption}.
- Panel 3, top right: Office entrance with sliding glass doors. The hamster stands politely with a small black briefcase, looking up. A vertical caption box reads {third_day_caption}. A speech bubble says a polite good-morning greeting.
- Panel 4, middle left: The hamster holds an oversized telephone receiver with both paws, standing near a desk phone. Use a jagged burst speech bubble from the caller at left and a narrow vertical reply bubble from the hamster at right, suggesting the caller asks for a specific hamster and the hamster answers politely.
- Panel 5, middle right: Lunch break scene. Wall clock shows exactly 12:00. Desk phone sits in the foreground. The hamster sits at the low desk eating a bowl of noodles with chopsticks; steam rises from the bowl and slurping sound effects appear beside it. A vertical caption box reads {lunch_caption}.
- Panel 6, bottom full-width: Dramatic high-contrast black background. The hamster is centered, angry and serious, gripping the large telephone receiver with the coiled cord extending toward the viewer. Add an anger mark on the forehead and intense dark eyes. On the left, include a large white explosive radial burst with bold vertical text reading {final_outburst_text}. On the right, include a decorative flower-edged thought/speech bubble filled with a long apologetic customer-service explanation in vertical Japanese-style text, implying the hamster is saying they are on lunch break and asking the caller to call back after lunch.

Visual style: Traditional black-and-white manga, humorous office slice-of-life, detailed shaded backgrounds, soft furry hamster rendering, strong panel borders, vertical Japanese manga typography, expressive speech bubbles, sound effects, and exaggerated comedic contrast in the final panel.

Constraints: Use exactly 6 panels and exactly one hamster appearance per panel. Keep the page monochrome with no color. Do not add humans. Do not add extra panels, logos, watermarks, or unrelated text.
