## Prompt

```text
Create a dark, cinematic surreal photo-illustration of a person in left profile, mostly hidden in shadow, exhaling a long horizontal plume of smoke across the frame. The upper-left face area is obscured by a large flat opaque rectangle in {censor_block_color}, covering the eyes and upper face like an intentional privacy mask. The subject has {hair_color} loose hair strands visible near the neck and jaw, with only the lower cheek, neck, and hair edge softly lit. The smoke is the main focus: dense, translucent, swirling gray-beige vapor stretching from the mouth toward the right side, with delicate turbulent curls and layered mist. Inside the smoke, embed a faint dreamlike miniature memory scene: silhouettes of people sitting together, a child or rider on a bicycle, trees, and a distant suburban house, all ghostly and semi-transparent as if formed from smoke. The background is an out-of-focus dim interior with vertical curtain or window shapes in muted olive, charcoal, and brown tones, with a narrow cool beam of light falling from above near the center-right. Use moody low-key lighting, shallow depth of field, soft grain, realistic smoke simulation, muted sepia color grading, and a contemplative atmosphere suggesting memories leaving the body as breath. Landscape composition, 3:2 aspect ratio, no readable text.
