## Prompt

```text
Goal: Create a 1990s mid-era Japanese PC visual novel / adventure game screen in a 256-color dithered pixel-art style, like a fantasy magic academy mystery game.

Canvas: 16:9 landscape game screenshot, 1184×768 feel, dark navy interface with ornate antique-gold borders, low-resolution dithering, visible color banding, crunchy pixel texture, no modern UI polish.

Layout: Split the screen into three main areas: a large story scene panel on the upper left, a vertical command menu panel on the upper right, and a wide dialogue box across the bottom. Use elaborate gold filigree corner ornaments, thin double-line frames, small blue gemstone decorations at frame intersections, and faint magical compass-circle emblems in the UI background.

Main scene: Inside the upper-left scene panel, show an old European-style magic academy classroom with exactly 3 tall arched windows on the left wall, rows of wooden desks and benches, a chalkboard at the back with arcane diagrams and chalk writing, a teacher’s desk with books and bottles, wall sconces with warm candle flames, dark wood paneling, and a small academy crest banner above the chalkboard.

Character: In front of the classroom, centered slightly left, show one anime-style schoolgirl named {character_name}. She has very long flowing {hair_color} hair with shiny pixel highlights, a navy academy blazer with gold trim and a golden magic-circle crest on the chest, a white pleated blouse, a large burgundy ribbon bow, and a formal fantasy school uniform. Her right hand is lifted near her chest as if shyly speaking. Cover her face with a centered square soft blur / mosaic censor block so the facial features are indistinct.

Right command menu: The upper-right panel title reads {location_title}. Under it, display exactly 5 stacked menu items in Japanese, each in its own horizontal row with gold separators: 1) 「話す」, 2) 「調べる」, 3) 「持ち物」, 4) 「記録」, 5) 「システム」. Highlight the first item 「話す」 with a brighter rectangular outline and a small gold triangular cursor plus blue diamond marker on its left.

Bottom dialogue box: A dark translucent navy text window spans the bottom. On the left, include a decorative crest panel with a golden compass/astrolabe symbol and laurel motif. In the main dialogue area, display the speaker line {speaker_label} and below it the dialogue {dialogue_text}. Use white pixelated Japanese bitmap font, clean spacing, and authentic retro text-window rendering.

Visual style: 256-color Japanese PC-98 / Windows 95 visual novel aesthetic, hand-drawn anime character over detailed pixel-art background, dark navy and antique gold palette, heavy dithering, subtle scanline-like roughness, ornate fantasy UI, crisp rectangular panels, no photorealism, no 3D render, no watermark, no extra menu items or extra characters.
