## Prompt

```text
Create a vertical 9:16 epic cinematic dark fantasy scene set in New York Harbor at deep twilight, viewed from an elevated angle on the upper deck of an abandoned, rust-stained Staten Island Ferry. In the foreground, show the orange ferry structure with corroded railings, dark rectangular windows, peeling paint, the number “1553,” and partially visible large black lettering reading “Staten Island.” Standing on the upper deck is a lone adult male figure, face intentionally obscured in shadow/blur, wearing a dark hooded rain poncho or cloak, with a diagonal shoulder strap and a katana handle rising over one shoulder, giving a post-apocalyptic survivor mood. The midground water should be choppy and dark, scattered with floating debris, broken docks, small wreckage, and narrow piers with tiny human silhouettes. In the background, show the Lower Manhattan skyline as a dark silhouette, including One World Trade Center on the right and dense skyscrapers across the horizon. The sky is heavy with dramatic overcast storm clouds, with a muted orange sunset glow breaking through behind the buildings, blending deep blue, charcoal, purple, and ember tones. Use realistic photographic detail, cinematic color grading, high contrast, moody atmosphere, wide-angle perspective, desaturated palette, subtle haze, no clean modern look, no bright daylight, no cartoon style. Customizable details: {location}, {ferry_text}, {main_figure}, {time_of_day}, {mood}.
```
