The prompt

Hand-drawn 2D anime close-up of a young man lying in bed in a dark bedroom at night, soft cel animation, locked camera. 0–2s: the room is deep blue, his face barely visible on the pillow. 2–4s: the phone beside his head lights up with a message. 4–6s: cold blue-white screen light under-lights his face as he reads, eyes catching the glow. 6–8s: the screen dims and his face fades back into the dark, a small smile lingering. Throughout: moonlit curtains, clean line art, fixed camera, one continuous take.
