Prompt (original, unmodified)
15 second cinematic emotional modern-day scene, set clearly in 2026. A woman in her 30s sits alone at night in a contemporary city apartment. Modern sofa, clean minimalist interior, large window with city lights outside, smartphone on the coffee table, soft LED lamp, framed digital photo of her late husband, modern clothing, no vintage objects. She wears casual present-day clothes, a simple sweater and jeans. She holds her wedding ring and looks at a recent phone video of her husband smiling. The mood is intimate, emotional, peaceful, not horror. Start with a close-up of her hand touching the wedding ring beside the glowing smartphone screen. Cut to her face, tears in her eyes, lit by the phone and soft city light. The apartment is quiet, modern, realistic. A faint warm light appears in the reflection of the window. Her husband appears as a gentle transparent presence made of soft golden light, wearing modern clothes, calm and loving. He is not a ghost horror figure, he is a peaceful spiritual presence. Camera moves slowly behind her, revealing him standing near her reflection in the glass. She feels him and turns. He raises his hand. She raises hers. Their hands almost touch, separated by a thin glowing veil of light. A soft warm pulse fills the apartment, moving through the modern room and city reflections. For one brief moment, she smiles through tears, feeling comfort instead of loneliness. Final shot: he fades gently into golden particles reflected in the window while her phone screen shows their happy video paused. She holds the ring to her heart. Modern day only, contemporary apartment, current clothing, city night, smartphone, LED lighting, no candles, no old mansion, no antique furniture, no historical clothing, no 18th century, no Victorian style, no gothic style, no horror, no text.
