The prompt

Close-up of a woman in her thirties with short curly hair alone at a kitchen table in a dark apartment, a birthday cake with lit candles in front of her, photoreal drama, locked camera. 0–2s: warm candlelight flickers on her face from below. 2–4s: she leans in and blows the candles out. 4–6s: smoke curls up and her face drops into darkness. 6–8s: cold streetlight from the window lights one side of her face as she sits quietly. Throughout: smoke trails, a window behind her, fixed camera, one continuous take.

Tip

Light going out needs a second source. A cold window light after the warm candles turns a blackout into a mood change.
