## Prompt

```text
Create a cinematic ultra-wide nighttime exterior shot of an old Japanese public housing apartment block, labeled faintly with “3-2” on the upper right wall. The scene is dark, rainy, and atmospheric, with a wet asphalt courtyard in the foreground reflecting lights and puddles. The building is a long, weathered concrete structure with 5 visible residential floors, rows of small balconies, dark windows, stains, pipes, railings, and aged facade details. Only one apartment near the upper center is warmly lit with an orange glow; on that balcony stands a small solitary figure, {person_action}, silhouetted against the light. In the foreground include exactly 4 main objects: one glowing streetlamp on the left casting greenish-white light through mist, one small child’s tricycle near the center of the empty courtyard, two parked kei vans on the right. Add dark trees on both sides, a bicycle shelter barely visible at far left, low metal railings, and a worn signboard on the far right with Japanese neighborhood notice text. Use a realistic film still style, moody horror-drama atmosphere, low-key lighting, damp haze, subtle fog, high detail, deep shadows, muted green-gray color grading, anamorphic widescreen composition, quiet unsettling emptiness. Customize the setting as {location}, time as {time_of_day}, building mood as {building_condition}, and balcony light color as {balcony_light_color}. No people other than the single balcony figure, no text overlays, no watermark.
```
