Create a 15-second ultra-photorealistic 16:9 cinematic slice-of-life video using the provided reference image as the exact character reference. Preserve her exact face, identity, hairstyle, body proportions, and appearance throughout.

Mood: Quiet, intimate, slow and cozy midnight apartment. Dark surroundings, soft warm practical lights, faint rain outside. She is calm, relaxed and content. No rushing or exaggerated acting. The camera observes her naturally rather than constantly showing her face.

0–3 sec — Kitchen:
Wide static shot. She quietly enters the dark kitchen, turns on a small warm counter light, and begins preparing ramen.
3–6 sec — Cooking:
Close-up focused on the pot. Water gently boils as she places noodles in and slowly stirs with chopsticks. Steam rises naturally.

6–9 sec — TV:
Close-up of a remote on the living-room table. Her hand enters, picks it up and turns on the TV. The screen softly illuminates the dark room.
9–12 sec — Returning:
Separate shot from the kitchen looking toward the living room. She returns carrying the ramen. The TV is distant and slightly out of focus, with very low, muffled audio blending into the room ambience.

12–15 sec — Eating:
Close three-quarter shot. She sits down, gently blows on the steaming noodles, takes a bite and gives a tiny satisfied smile while looking toward the TV.
Cinematography: Slow observational camera, static compositions, gentle movement, realistic focus pulls, object-focused shots, shallow depth of field. Let shots breathe.

Sound: Soft rain, boiling water, chopsticks, quiet footsteps, faint refrigerator hum and distant TV audio.
Lighting: Dark midnight atmosphere, warm kitchen light, subtle TV glow, cool faint window light, deep natural shadows.
