## Prompt

```text
Create a hyper-realistic cinematic image from inside a moving city bus, shot like a wide selfie from a seated passenger beside a large window. In the left foreground, show {subject_description} extending one arm toward the camera in a casual selfie pose, her expression calm with a soft smile, partially backlit by warm daylight. The bus interior is visible behind her with patterned seats, yellow handrails, blurred passengers, and shallow depth of field. The large window dominates the right side and acts as both glass and portal: it reflects the subject and bus interior while revealing a surreal city street outside. Beyond the glass, show a wet reflective boulevard lined with elegant old buildings, pedestrians drifting in slow motion, one person holding a red umbrella, and a car with headlights glowing. The ordinary street gradually transforms into a dreamscape with exactly 9 colorful kites floating across a pink-and-blue sunset sky, soft glowing particles suspended in the air, exaggerated warm cinematic colors, and reflections of both the real bus interior and surreal outside world layered on the window. Use {time_of_day} lighting with natural daylight on the face blending into a dreamy glow with warm highlights, soft film grain, realistic lens reflections, subtle motion blur, and a peaceful mood of imagination, escape, and quiet happiness.
