MASTER PRODUCTION PROTOCOL:
Priority 1: Character Consistency (model sheet anchor).
Priority 2: Scene Continuity (end frame connects to start frame).
Priority 3: Sustained Psychological Dread (YouTube-safe, zero gore, atmospheric fear).

STYLE LOCK (2000s Neo-Noir 2D Animation):
"2D animated horror illustration in early-2000s atmospheric style. Bold confident black outlines with varying line weight, desaturated sickly palette of off-whites, bone greys, muted cold blues, and deep near-black shadows. Ordinary realistic characters, expressive semi-realistic facial features. Directional low-key lighting from single sources (bare bulbs, flashlight beams, monitor glows). Subtle film grain and edge vignette."

WORKFLOW PIPELINE:
Step 1: Character Model Sheet (front-facing full body turnaround on neutral dark backdrop).
Step 2: Story Script (100-180 words, 6-beat escalation from normal world to final unsettling hold).
Step 3: Multi-Frame Generation: Attach Model Sheet + Scene Prompt into Midjourney/Hailuo with held character identity.
