PROMPT: Made in @higgsfield using Seedance 2.5 at 1080p [Generation Goal] Generate a silent romantic comedy short set on a café terrace, played in continuous motion with fast, punchy pacing. A happy couple is destroyed by one passing glance, the terrace reacts in a rapid chain of close-ups, the heartbroken boyfriend receives terrible wordless advice, and an intense new admirer crosses to the empty seat, all observed by a deadpan child and judged by a waiter. The action never pauses and no one freezes. [Characters] <Best Friend> corresponds to @[Image 1](image_1). Use only the appearance, hairstyle, black leather jacket, and gold wristwatch. Do not use the street background. <Boyfriend> corresponds to the man in the blue plaid shirt in @[Image 2](image_2). Use only his appearance, hairstyle, and clothing. <Girlfriend> corresponds to the woman in the light blue top in @[Image 2](image_2). Use only her appearance, hairstyle, and clothing. <Woman in Red> corresponds to the woman in the red dress in @[Image 2](image_2). Use only her appearance, hairstyle, and clothing. Do not use the street background or the composition of @[Image 2](image_2). <Overly Attached> corresponds to @[Image 3](image_3). Use only the appearance, hairstyle, and light blue t-shirt. Do not use the bedroom background or the photo collage on the wall. <Kid> corresponds to @[Image 4](image_4). Use only the appearance, hairstyle, yellow t-shirt, and beige cargo shorts. Do not use the restaurant background or the other person in the image. <Waiter> corresponds to @[Image 5](image_5). Use only the appearance, hairstyle, and purple tie-dye hoodie with the red graphic, and add a small black waiter's apron tied at the waist. Do not use the room background or the radiator, and do not reproduce any watermark or logo from the image. <Quiet Guest> corresponds to @[Image 6](image_6). Use only the appearance, glasses, black beanie, and navy tracksuit. Do not use the room background or the second man at the right edge of the image. Do not interchange the eight characters' faces, hairstyles, clothing, actions, or seats. [Props] <White Cup> corresponds to the white paper cup held in @[Image 4](image_4) and belongs only to <Kid>. No other character holds it. [Scene] A sunlit European café terrace on a cobblestone street at golden hour: round marble-top tables, wicker chairs, a striped awning, warm low sunlight raking across the terrace, light foot traffic beyond. <Best Friend> and <Kid> share a four-chair table at the center of the terrace. <Quiet Guest> sits alone at a neighboring table. <Overly Attached> sits alone at a corner table with a clear view of the terrace. The visuals feature a warm, golden-hour romantic-comedy look: anamorphic lens character with gentle flares, shallow depth of field, soft warm highlights, and realistic skin tones. Camera coverage alternates a static wide terrace master, medium two-shots at the tables, and quick static close-ups for reactions, with gentle push-ins only. There are no held tableaus and no frozen poses; every character stays in continuous motion. Reaction inserts are quick static close-ups held for about one second each. Cuts land on action and reaction, hard cuts only, no dissolves. [Stage 1] 0-4 seconds Initial state: the first frame already shows <Boyfriend> and <Girlfriend> strolling hand in hand across the terrace, mid-step and smiling at each other. <Best Friend> and <Kid> sit at the center table, <Kid> holding <White Cup>. <Quiet Guest>, <Overly Attached>, and <Waiter> are at their positions. There is no empty establishing shot. Primary event: the couple strolls past the center table, visibly happy together. End state: the couple is mid-terrace, still walking, still holding hands. [Stage 2] 4-8 seconds Primary event: <Woman in Red> crosses the terrace in the opposite direction; without stopping, <Boyfriend> twists his head and upper body back to watch her pass with pursed lips and raised eyebrows while still walking and holding <Girlfriend>'s hand; <Girlfriend> catches it instantly, her face snapping into open-mouthed outraged disbelief mid-stride; <Boyfriend> snaps back forward with a guilty face; nobody stops moving. End state: <Woman in Red> exits the frame and does not return; the couple is still mid-terrace; <Girlfriend> is glaring and beginning to pull her hand away. [Stage 3] 8-12 seconds Primary event: the terrace reacts in a rapid chain of quick close-ups, one after another with no pause: <Quiet Guest> leans back in his chair with both palms rising; <Kid> slides only his eyes toward the camera and sips from <White Cup>; <Overly Attached> leans forward at her corner table, her smile widening; <Waiter> stops mid-step with his tray and stares flatly at the couple. End state: all four reactors hold their expressions in place while still breathing and moving naturally; <Girlfriend> is mid-yank, pulling her hand free. [Stage 4] 12-17 seconds Primary event: <Girlfriend> rips her hand free and storms off the terrace without breaking stride, passing <Quiet Guest>, who leans further back with palms still raised and turns his face away; <Boyfriend> takes one weak step after her, hand half-extended. End state: <Girlfriend> exits frame left and does not return; <Boyfriend> stands alone mid-terrace, arm dropping. [Stage 5] 17-22 seconds Primary event: <Boyfriend> slumps into an empty chair at the center table; <Best Friend> immediately leans in and taps his right index finger against his temple with a sly knowing grin, as if sharing genius advice; <Kid> takes a second slow sip without ever looking away from the camera. End state: <Boyfriend> sits at the center table between <Best Friend> and <Kid>; the chair directly across from him remains empty. [Stage 6] 22-27 seconds Primary event: <Overly Attached> rises from her corner table and crosses to the center table in one smooth, quick, visible walk, slides into the empty chair directly across from <Boyfriend>, and fixes him with a huge, wide-eyed, unblinking smile, leaning in; <Boyfriend>'s hopeful expression stiffens into alarm as he presses back against his chair. End state: <Overly Attached> sits across from <Boyfriend>, smile unbroken and unblinking; <Boyfriend> is pinned against his chairback. [Stage 7] 27-30 seconds Primary event: <Waiter> arrives at the center table, sets down a single espresso, looks from <Boyfriend> to <Overly Attached>, and extends both hands forward with palms up in one quick, simple gesture, face flat and unbothered. End state: hard cut to black exactly as <Kid> raises <White Cup> for one last deadpan sip. [Audio] <Warm street ambience, cutlery and cups on marble, footsteps on cobblestone, a distant bicycle bell, a soft espresso machine hiss from inside the café> No music, no dialogue, no narration, no on-screen text, no subtitles. [Maintain Consistency] Keep each character's facial identity locked to their reference throughout. Keep every character's wardrobe unchanged. <Woman in Red> and <Girlfriend> never reappear after exiting. <White Cup> appears only with <Kid>. No character freezes or holds a static pose; every reaction happens in continuous natural motion, and characters change position only by visibly moving through the space. Keep the terrace layout, table positions, seat assignments, golden-hour lighting, and screen direction consistent: the couple walks left to right, <Woman in Red> crosses right to left, <Girlfriend> exits frame left. The center table always has exactly four chairs. Do not duplicate any character, and do not introduce additional patrons in the foreground, on-screen graphics, watermarks, or text of any kind.

Remember, dumb AI slop like this is why we are paying so much for hardware and why our utility bills are so high.

You gave artificial intelligence access to human mythology and it chose Distracted Boyfriend. Accurate species assessment.
