A freestanding sign stand sits just inside the entrance, and a wall mirror is mounted on the west wall near the central aisle area.\n\nMorning light enters softly through the front display window and glass entrance, creating pale reflections on the polished floor and gentle highlights on shelves, counter surfaces, and glass. Ceiling track lights are present but subdued, suggesting the store has just opened or is about to open. The mood is still, clean, and quiet: no customers, no staff, no faces, no bodies, no blood. Use realistic retail materials such as glass storefront panels, metal door frames, laminate or wood-toned shelving, a practical service counter, small product displays, subtle signage shapes without legible text, and neutral contemporary finishes.

        "t2i_prompt": "Create a photorealistic film/drama still frame of an empty boat wheelhouse interior at dusk, shot from standing human eye level about 1.6 meters high with a 28mm wide-angle lens. The image must be a cinematic interior photograph from inside the room, not a top-down view, not a floor plan, and not an architectural diagram. Camera is placed near the aft entry door, looking forward on a slight diagonal toward the helm console, the steering wheel, and the broad segmented front windshield. Frame the utilitarian marine cabin widely enough to include the aft entry door edge or implied doorway behind the camera, the captain chair centered before the helm, the helm console along the forward wall, the steering wheel on its aft face, a throttle lever on the starboard side, a small radio unit at the starboard upper corner of the console, the port and starboard side windows in the forward halves of the side walls, a chart shelf along the port wall aft of the side window, a narrow storage bench in the southwest aft corner, and a simple cabin light fixture centered on the ceiling. The plot-critical red circular floor marking set must be clearly visible on the deck aisle between the aft entry door and the captain chair, placed in the lower foreground or mid-floor, with several red circles or ring-like markings on the worn deck surface. Dusk light should tint the windows blue-gray and muted orange, with dim ambient glow outside the glass and soft reflections on the windshield; the cabin interior has low, moody natural light with subtle warm spill from the ceiling fixture or instrument area. Materials should feel like a working vessel: worn painted metal or fiberglass panels, scuffed nonslip deck, salt-stained window frames, utilitarian screws, rubber seals, simple marine hardware, charts or papers on the shelf without readable text, and slightly aged equipment. No people, no faces, no bodies, no blood. Keep the background realistic, grounded, and cinematic, with furniture and openings positioned according to the layout reference but rendered as a natural eye-level drama still. 16:9 cinematic aspect ratio",
