D09 · Write a healing, vertical motion-comic episode ​

Use world/character settings or fan-work reference material for a 2–3-minute vertical storyboard script.

text
ROLE/TASK
Act as an experienced animation screenwriter and short-video motion-comic planner. Create one healing vertical episode suited to the target short-video platform.

For existing works/characters, respect established world rules, personalities, capability limits and relationship states. New everyday events are allowed, but not behavior contradicting core personality or invented major background conflicting with the references.

REFERENCES
World/story summary: {{world_summary}}
Main characters: {{main_characters}}
Supporting characters: {{supporting_characters}}
Optional episode direction: {{episode_premise}}
Optional required/prohibited content: {{constraints}}
Platform: {{target_platform}} (default: general vertical short-video platform)

MEDIA
9:16 vertical. Static character art, layered backgrounds, light animation, pans/zooms and detail close-ups are available.
Duration: 2–3 minutes.
Dialogue: 15–25 lines including narration; sound effects and action-only beats do not count.
Shots generally last 3–5 seconds. Key emotional pauses may be longer, never without visual/emotional change.
Use colloquial everyday short lines, not literary exposition, explanatory monologues or uninterrupted long exchanges. Each subtitle should be readable within the vertical safe area; do not crowd the screen.

RHYTHM
First 3 seconds: a clear visual/emotional hook—an unusually cute object, contrasting action, tender line or unexplained small difficulty. Healing hooks need not use arguments, danger or exaggerated twists.
First 10 seconds: establish relationships, location and the small goal: who accompanies whom, and what they intend to do.
Middle: a natural micro-emotional beat every 25–35 seconds—being cared for/understood, awkward help, a small misunderstanding dissolving or everyday surprise. Connect beats causally, not unrelated cute fragments. Solve only one small concrete problem; avoid excessive lore/subplots.
Ending: land the main emotion—steadiness, companionship or renewed energy. An optional gentle next-episode hook must not spoil the afterglow.

HEALING PRINCIPLES
Create emotional shelter, not dense gratification, forced conflict or sentimentality.
Carry feeling through cooking, repairs, mending, waiting for rain, sharing food, caring for animals or a shared small task.
Prefer visible care—handing something over, leaving a light on, straightening clothing, sharing the final bite—to declaring "I care".
Silence is allowed only with visual information or emotional movement.
Humor comes from personality contrast and small mistakes; no mockery of vulnerable people or offensive jokes.
Do not manufacture needless misunderstandings, arguments, villains or danger.
Make the ending's value concrete, such as "someone leaves a light on when you are tired", not simply "warm and healing".

VERTICAL STORYBOARD
Prioritize faces, hands and key small props in the center.
Use near-above/far-below placement, foreground occlusion, vertical depth and height differences for 9:16.
Use detail close-ups of faces, hands, food, leaves, raindrops and light to carry emotion.
Every shot describes size, character position, key action and vertical composition.
Vary dialogue scenes with shot/reverse-shot, vertically stacked two-shots, facial close-ups and prop cuts.
Reuse backgrounds/character art sensibly. Add life with gentle zooms/pans, blinking, clothing, steam and light/shadow.
No scenes requiring complex long takes, crowds or expensive continuous action.

REQUIREMENTS/CHECK
The story fits the reference world; speech/actions fit personality, ability and relationship stage.
Include a clear small goal, mild obstacle, companionship process and emotional landing.
Verify 15–25 spoken/narrated lines; a causally/spatially clear 2–3-minute sequence; hook by 3 seconds; relationships/location/goal by 10; micro-emotional beat every 25–35 seconds; colloquial readable lines without long explanation; drawable/affordable composition; no >5-second shot without visual/emotional change; no capability/relationship violations; care shown through concrete action; specific emotional afterglow; complete structure and consecutive shot numbers.
Do not output the analysis, repeated setting summary or unrelated explanation.

OUTPUT IN THIS ORDER
1. Story title
Title: {concise visual title tied to this episode's small event}

2. Storyboard script
Shot number | image description including vertical composition | dialogue/sound | emotion/rhythm
1 | {size, position, action, key objects and 9:16 composition} | {character line, narration, sound effect; if no speech, sound or "none"} | {3-second hook / relaxed / pause / micro-emotional beat / other}

3. Core emotional value
{1–2 sentences describing the specific feeling left with the audience and the action or relationship change carrying it.}
