the prompt

SCENE CONTEXT: Empty 24-hour coin laundromat in Osaka, 3am. A woman in an oversized grey coat sits alone. Each dryer window shows a different warm memory of her life instead of clothes. Photorealistic, melancholic, cinematic.

LOCATION MAP: Row of 6 front-load dryers left, folding table center, flickering fluorescent tube overhead, rainy glass door behind camera.

FIRST FRAME / SPATIAL BLOCKING: Woman seated center-right on plastic bench, hands in pockets, facing the dryers 2m away. Dryer 3 glowing amber.

FORMAT MODE: 9:16, 15 seconds, hard cuts only.

OPTICS: 50mm, shallow DOF, soft halation on light sources.

CAMERA: Handheld, slow drift, subtle breathing sway.

ACTION TIMING:
0.0–2.5s | Wide: fluorescent flicker, she stares at a spinning dryer
2.5–5.0s | Hard cut, macro inside dryer 3: a child's birthday candle scene tumbles like laundry, warm light
5.0–7.0s | Hard cut, tight on her eyes, amber light reflecting, a tear forms
7.0–9.5s | Hard cut, she stands and walks to dryer 4, it glows with a different memory (hands holding at a train station)
9.5–12.0s | Hard cut, palm on the glass, light shifts across her face, her breathing slows
12.0–15.0s | Hard cut, all dryers stop one by one, windows go dark, her reflection smiles slightly
