1.26 @Wren — identity locked from the approved 28-image reference set. Do not re-describe, restyle, beautify, correct asymmetry or alter facial structure. Reference images govern absolutely. STATE: fatigue 30% · story clock 02:00 · hair wash-cycle day 3. Expression state: ARRESTED moving into NEAR TEARS. Ceiling 4, hard. Not sadness — absence. She has stopped existing. The face does not comment on the line she is hearing. FRAME: vertical 9:16. Extreme close-up, tighter than any other frame in the episode. Top of frame just above the brows, bottom of frame at the base of the nose. Both eyes span the full frame width, outer corners close to the left and right frame edges. Eye line on the upper third. ZERO negative space — no room, no desk, no screen, no object of any kind anywhere in frame. Single plane. HEAD + GAZE: head tilted 5 to 7 degrees to the right, chin down 2 degrees. Absolutely still. Eyes directed screen-left, unfocused and parked roughly 30 cm past the screen — not reading, not tracking, not scanning. She is not looking at the camera and does not know it exists. EYES: dry-tired, not glassy. Lower lid rims reddened. Tear film thickened, holding one small low specular on each lower lid. NO TEAR. Nothing spills, nothing runs, no moisture on the cheek. Left palpebral fissure 1mm narrower than the right, left eye more hooded. Right brow 2mm higher. Sclera faintly grey-blue with fine visible vessels, one heavier vessel at the outer corner of the left eye. The freckle 8mm below the outer corner of the right eye must be sharp and correctly placed. LIGHT: monitor key only — soft, close, front and slightly below, green, extremely fast falloff. It catches the lower lids, the underside of the brow and the nose tip and abandons everything above the brow line to darkness. Sodium absent. No fill. No second source. Blacks lifted and noisy, never crushed. CAMERA: 85mm, subject distance 0.45m, height 118cm, camera on the frontal axis. Single-plane focus on her near eye, camera-left. RENDER: clean plate. No grain, no halation, no grade, no stylisation. Skin texture true at this magnification: visible pores, fine lines at the outer eye, under-eye trough, no smoothing of any kind.

Generate a single, hyper-realistic character reference image (strictly no collages, text, watermarks, or borders). The image must feature a cinematic, three-quarter portrait of the described character, maintaining a sharp, tack-focused emphasis on the face with natural skin textures, pore details, and realistic micro-expressions. The lighting should be cinematic and directional (e.g., subtle split or Rembrandt lighting) to give depth, blending seamlessly with the environment specified in the character description. The character must have a natural, living presence, looking slightly off-camera or directly at the lens with a subtle, context-aware expression. Ensure the full head, neck, and upper shoulders are completely unobstructed. This image serves as a high-fidelity identity blueprint for temporal-consistent video generation.
