Prompt (original, unmodified)
Alien. Espresso. Regrets Hyper-realistic cinematic comedy sequence, 10 seconds, 16:9. Inside a cozy café, one alien carefully drinks one tiny espresso like it is a dangerous laboratory sample. For half a second, nothing happens. Then the alien’s eyes go huge, its whole body vibrates, and it whispers in panic: “Why can I hear colors?” The alien suddenly moves too fast, accidentally cleans every table, stacks all chairs upside down, alphabetizes pastries, and salutes the coffee machine like it is a god. The espresso machine starts shaking from the alien’s energy and opens a tiny glowing portal inside the bathroom. Toilet paper flies out like a white tornado. End with the alien crawling back to the table, trembling, pointing at the empty espresso cup and saying: “Again.” Style: hyper-realistic, cinematic, chaotic comedy, one alien only, one café only, espresso trigger, super-speed panic, flying toilet paper, bathroom portal, no horror, no gore, no text, no logos, no cartoon style, no slow motion, no famous celebrity faces.
