Full prompt (copy & edit)

Use @image1 for sterile sci-fi corridors and practical lighting. Use @image2 for the lead's face, wardrobe, and silhouette. Build a 15-second mystery teaser: close-ups dominate; the threat stays off-screen.

[Process] 0–4s: tracking down corridor from @image1. 4–8s: MCU on lead from @image2 — reflected monitor light on eyes. 8–12s: gloved hand touches sealed door; alarm LED pulse. 12–15s: cut to black on audio sting.

No exposition dialogue. Photoreal cinematic style — not anime.
