## Prompt

```text
Goal: Create an ultra-wide 3:1 cinematic story-routing board for an action sequence in a modern subway station, showing the same protagonist repeated across one continuous space as a movement plan for directing and blocking. The scene is {story_scenario}.

Canvas: 1200×400 or similar 3:1 panoramic frame, realistic film still style, cool gray-blue lighting, high-detail interior architecture, glossy dark floor reflections, glass walls, metal ticket gates, central stair/escalator area, columns, platform screen doors, subway train on the right, overhead wayfinding signs. Use a slightly elevated wide-angle security-camera/cinematic perspective so the whole route is visible from entrance to platform.

Layout: One continuous station environment from left to right: entrance at far left, ticket gates left-center, stair/escalator area center, open concourse mid-right, platform and train doors on the right. Show the same male protagonist repeated at each action beat, wearing a black jacket, dark pants, white sneakers, and a backpack, running or dodging. Add a pursuing man in a gray jacket near the platform blocking him, plus a few bystanders as background silhouettes.

Action route annotations: Draw a bright hand-drawn yellow route line with arrows and loops across the floor, connecting exactly 8 numbered action nodes. Add small red arrows/scribbles for danger or pursuit. The 8 visible action nodes are: 1. rush into entrance; 2. pass ticket gate; 3. pursuit approaching; 4. rush down stairs; 5. platform blockage; 6. dodge and slip past; 7. train arriving and doors about to close; 8. rush into carriage, escape succeeds. Place these labels as white handwritten notes near the corresponding positions, using Chinese-style handwritten storyboard labeling if possible.

Timeline strip: Along the bottom edge, draw one thin horizontal white timeline with a yellow arrow pointing right. Include exactly 7 timestamp markers and captions: 00:00 entrance, 00:05 ticket gate, 00:11 pursuit approaching, 00:17 rush down stairs, 00:24 platform blockage, 00:31 dodge and slip past, 00:39 enter carriage. Keep the strip subtle but legible, like a director's action planning board.

Text and signage: Include realistic station signage such as Metro Entrance, platform direction arrows, route signs, and train line panels, but keep them secondary to the storyboard marks. Main handwritten annotations may use {annotation_language}; keep the writing chalky white, slightly imperfect, and integrated into the image.

Visual style: Photorealistic, moody, cinematic, documentary-like, with motion-blurred runners, crisp architectural details, reflective floors, cool fluorescent lighting, and overlay graphics that look manually drawn on top of a still frame. Avoid cartoon styling, avoid split panels, avoid extra action nodes, avoid logos or watermarks.
