"vibe_title_en": "Mechanical Melancholy",
"master_prompt": "Extreme close-up macro portrait. The Protagonist as a melancholic prodigy, framed tight on one side of the face. A highly detailed, physical brass clockwork mechanism with Roman numerals curves over the forehead and brow like a fragmented visor, partially obscuring the upper head but leaving one deeply expressive, sorrowful eye visible. The eye reflects warm, dusty ambient light. The protagonist's fingers, stained with dark ink and graphite, are gently touching a hyper-realistic golden mechanical hummingbird hovering near their cheek. They wear a heavy, ornate red and black mandarin-collar jacket with gold embroidery. Warm, directional Rembrandt lighting cutting through dense, dust-filled air, illuminating floating motes. Shot on Hasselblad H6D-100c, 120mm macro lens at f/2.8, incredibly shallow depth of field blurring the background into a muted olive-grey. Kodak Portra 400 film emulation, hyper-detailed skin pores, physical weight to the metal, cinematic chiaroscuro, pure photographic surrealism.",

The output stays consistent because the prompt nails down a named focal length, an explicit lighting setup, a material / texture call and a structured JSON body, so re-running it — or handing it to a teammate — lands in the same place instead of drifting. Keep those clauses and rewrite the subject to make it your own.
