Late for Class — Stealth Mission

Prompt:

SCENE CONTEXT
A 30-second realistic AAA third-person stealth-action game sequence set in a Japanese high school on a bright weekday morning. The player character, NAGI, arrived 12 minutes late and must reach her classroom seat without being spotted by any teacher.

 defines NAGI's face, hairstyle and uniform: Japanese high-school girl, 17, long straight black hair with blunt bangs, white short-sleeve sailor blouse with pink collar stripes and a satin pink ribbon, grey pleated skirt, black knee-high socks, white sneakers. Voice: light, breathy young female voice, speaking Japanese in a hushed whisper. 100% matches the reference. Use only her appearance — do not use the grey studio background.

CAST SEPARATION
Four distinct adults appear, each with a different silhouette, age and hair so they read as four separate people:
- GATE TEACHER: man in his 40s, 170 cm, average build, full head of short black hair parted at the side, thin metal-framed glasses, white dress shirt with a loosened navy tie. Appears only at the gate.
- LOCKER TEACHER: woman in her 20s, 160 cm, slim, brown hair in a high ponytail, beige cardigan over a white blouse, carrying printouts. Appears only in the shoe-locker bay.
- PRINCIPAL: man in his 60s, 160 cm, stout and round-shouldered, completely bald with a shiny scalp and a fringe of white hair above the ears, round gold-rimmed glasses, charcoal three-piece suit with a lapel badge. Appears only at the corridor T-junction.
- HOMEROOM TEACHER: man in his early 30s, 182 cm, lean and broad-shouldered, thick full black hair swept back, short beard, navy tracksuit with two white side stripes, chalk dust on his sleeve, no glasses. Appears only in the classroom.
The PRINCIPAL is the only bald character in the entire video. The HOMEROOM TEACHER keeps a full head of thick black hair and a beard, stands more than 20 cm taller than the PRINCIPAL, and is clearly a different, much younger man.

LOCATION MAP
One unbroken spatial route the camera travels with her: front gate hedge → gate gap → shoe-locker bay → corridor T-junction → cleaning-locker alcove → classroom rear sliding door → her desk. Foreground: polished linoleum floor and steel shoe lockers, sunlit and reflective. Background: window wall on camera-right onto a sports ground, dust suspended in the sunbeams. Light enters from camera-right through the windows along the entire route.

CLASSROOM GEOMETRY
The classroom is oriented like a standard Japanese classroom: the blackboard and the teacher's lectern are at the FRONT of the room, the window wall runs along one side, and the rear sliding door, the back wall bulletin board and the cleaning lockers are at the BACK. Every student desk faces the blackboard. NAGI enters through the rear door and sits at a back-row desk, facing forward toward the blackboard for the whole classroom section — the blackboard is always in front of her, never behind her.

FIRST FRAME / BLOCKING
First frame is already in motion: NAGI sprints in from lower-left toward camera-right, school bag clutched to her chest, and drops into a crouch-slide behind a trimmed hedge beside the closed school gate. Camera behind her right shoulder. Game HUD fully visible from frame one.

FORMAT MODE
One continuous unbroken take from 0.0s to 27.0s with no cuts of any kind, then a single HARD CUT at 27.0s to one final locked reverse shot that runs to 30.0s. Exactly one cut exists in the whole video, at 27.0s. The camera does not cut anywhere else.

OPTICS
One lens for the continuous section: 47° third-person over-the-shoulder framing as the baseline, breathing in to 29° on reaction beats and out to 63° for the corridor takedown and the cardboard box. All FOV changes in that section happen as smooth continuous zoom breathing, never as a jump. The final shot after the cut is a fixed 29° frontal framing of NAGI, no drift.

CAMERA
For the continuous section the camera is a physical object flying with her. Chest-height, 1.5 meters behind NAGI, slightly camera-right of her spine, swinging with a soft spring delay half a beat behind her turns like an analog-stick gameplay camera. It dips to knee height when she crouches, rises when she stands, slides sideways along the locker wall with her, swings wide to the corridor-left to open up the takedown, drifts back behind her for the box, and follows her low through the classroom rear door gap to settle behind her shoulder as she sits. After the cut, the camera is repositioned to the FRONT of the classroom, standing beside the teacher's lectern next to the blackboard and looking back down the aisle at NAGI — locked off, eye level, completely static, no movement.

ACTION

[Beat 1 — 0.0s to 6.0s] NAGI crouch-slides behind the hedge, back flat to the leaves, chest heaving. She leans out 20 cm to peek at the GATE TEACHER checking his watch, then pulls back. She whispers in Japanese: {ちこく…バレたら終わりだ}. HUD flashes 【LATE — 12 MIN】 and the mission banner 【OBJECTIVE: REACH CLASS 2-B UNDETECTED】. She slips through the gate gap behind his back while he faces away, and the camera follows her through the gap without stopping.

[Beat 2 — 6.0s to 12.0s] The camera stays with her into the shoe-locker bay. NAGI presses her spine flat against the steel lockers and shuffles sideways at 2 km/h, sneakers rolling heel-to-toe in silence; the camera tracks sideways with her at the same speed. The LOCKER TEACHER walks past the end of the row carrying printouts. NAGI holds her breath, pupils tracking her without moving her head, and whispers: {止まって…気づかないで}. The minimap vision cone sweeps past NAGI's marker and turns away. HUD shows 【SNEAKING MODE】. The LOCKER TEACHER exits frame-left, NAGI exhales and moves on into the corridor with the camera still on her shoulder.

[Beat 3 — 12.0s to 18.0s] The PRINCIPAL steps around the T-junction two meters in front of her. A red exclamation marker snaps above his bald head with a sharp alert sting, the HUD edge pulses red, 【ALERT】. The camera swings wide to corridor-left as NAGI reacts in one motion: drops her bag, steps inside his guard, hooks his right wrist, spins under his arm into a soft CQC hold around his shoulders, then lowers him carefully to the floor and props him seated against the wall, asleep with his gold-rimmed glasses askew. She bows quickly and whispers: {ごめんなさい、校長先生！}. HUD prints 【CQC TAKEDOWN】 and 【PRINCIPAL: Z z z】. She scoops her bag back up and the camera falls in behind her again.

[Beat 4 — 18.0s to 24.0s] Two office staff in grey work vests, both with short dark hair, turn into the far end of the corridor walking toward camera. NAGI grabs a flattened cardboard box by the cleaning-locker alcove, pops it open and drops it over herself in one second, freezing dead still mid-corridor; the camera drifts to a stop with her, still running. Only her white sneakers show under the cardboard rim. The two staff walk past; one slows, looks at the box for a full beat, shrugs and keeps walking. From inside the box NAGI whispers: {箱…最強}. HUD prints 【BOX EQUIPPED】 then 【ENEMY LOST CONTACT】, alert bar drains to green. The box shuffles forward on two sneakered feet and the camera moves with it.

[Beat 5 — 24.0s to 27.0s] She ditches the box behind a pillar, slides the classroom rear door open 15 cm and crawls low along the back row under the window line; the camera drops low and slips through the same door gap with her, staying behind her shoulder. She folds into an empty back-row desk facing forward toward the blackboard. Over her shoulder in the far distance, the HOMEROOM TEACHER stands at the blackboard writing, his back to the room. She sits bolt upright, hands flat on the desk.

27.0s HARD CUT

[Beat 6 — 27.0s to 30.0s] Locked static reverse shot from the front of the classroom beside the lectern, looking back down the aisle: NAGI sits at her back-row desk facing camera, shoulders squared, hands flat on the desk, chest still rising fast. Behind her are rows of empty student desks, the back wall bulletin board and the closed rear sliding door — no blackboard behind her. Off camera behind the lens, the HOMEROOM TEACHER says in Japanese: {なぎ、出席とるぞ}. NAGI answers brightly, looking straight down the lens: {はい！}. HUD prints 【MISSION COMPLETE】, 【STEALTH RANK: S】, 【ADRENALINE +150】. Final frame: NAGI facing camera, a tiny triumphant smile pulling at one corner of her mouth.

PERFORMANCE
Photographic human realism indistinguishable from live-action footage: skin with visible pores, fine vellus hair catching the light, subsurface scattering in the earlobes and fingertips, capillary flush across her cheeks and ears from running, individual flyaway strands lifting off her hair, wet living eyes with true window catch-lights and a faint red inner rim, clean matte skin. Visible fast breathing at the collarbone, eyes darting a half-second before her head turns. Tension shown by muscle: shoulders drawn up to her ears, fingers clamped white on the bag strap, jaw set, then a full-body shoulder drop on each escape. All adults have equally real skin, real hair follicles and natural asymmetric faces.

PHYSICS
Her skirt pleats swing and settle with inertia on every stop; hair lags and sweeps across her face on fast turns. The cardboard box has real mass — it wobbles when it lands on her shoulders and its bottom edge drags with a light scrape. The PRINCIPAL's body has believable weight as she lowers him; his shoes squeak once on the linoleum. Contact shadows stay glued under every foot, every knee, every box corner.

LIGHTING
One continuous light logic across the whole video: hard morning sun at 5600K entering from the window wall on camera-right, throwing long window-frame stripes across the floor that NAGI passes through light and shadow as she travels the route. Soft bounce fill off the pale linoleum lifts her face. In the final reverse shot the same window wall now sits on camera-left, raking light across her cheek from that side, with soft bounce off the desks. Fine dust suspended in the sunbeams. Exposure rolls smoothly as she moves between bright and shadowed stretches, and the color temperature matches exactly across the cut.

HUD
GTA-style real-time game HUD locked to fixed screen positions for the whole 30 seconds, with every on-screen word written in English: circular minimap bottom-left with the player arrow and yellow vision cones for each adult, health and stamina bars top-left, alert-state bar shifting green to amber to red, controller button prompts bottom-right, English mission objective text top-center, floating red exclamation markers over alerted characters, notification cards sliding in from screen-right. The HUD stays in the same screen positions across the cut. No subtitles or caption bars anywhere on screen. The HUD is a clean flat graphic overlay composited on top of fully photographic live-action-grade footage.

AUDIO
(tense minimalist stealth synth loop with a pulsing heartbeat under it, running unbroken across the cut and resolving to a short bright victory fanfare at the end) <sneaker squeaks on linoleum> <steel locker creak> <sharp alert sting on the exclamation marker> <cardboard rustle and scrape> <chalk on blackboard> <distant volleyball whistle from the sports ground> <fast heartbeat rising through the takedown and the box>. Ambience carries continuously through the cut. All dialogue is spoken in Japanese.

STYLE
Photoreal live-action realism, real human beings and real fabric, natural skin tones with true-to-life color science, physically correct materials, realistic human proportions and anatomy, real optical depth of field, real floor reflections, subtle handheld gameplay motion blur, fine film grain at 5%, sharp detail intent.

OUTPUT SETTINGS
16:9, real-time speed throughout, one continuous 27-second take plus one 3-second locked shot after a single hard cut.

POSITIVE LOCKS
Exactly one cut in the entire video, at 27.0s — everything before it is a single unbroken take with the camera connected to NAGI. NAGI keeps the same face, long black hair with blunt bangs, white pink-striped sailor uniform, grey pleated skirt, black knee-highs and white sneakers throughout, with dry clean skin. The school bag stays with her except during the takedown, then returns to her arms. The cardboard box appears only in the corridor beat. The bald PRINCIPAL in the charcoal suit appears only at the T-junction; the tall bearded HOMEROOM TEACHER with thick black hair in the navy tracksuit appears only in the classroom, and the two are unmistakably different men. In the classroom NAGI always faces the blackboard; in the final shot the camera stands at the blackboard end of the room, so empty desks and the rear door fill the space behind her. All on-screen text is English. The last 3 seconds hold a locked frontal eye-level shot of NAGI facing camera. HUD elements stay in the same screen corners throughout. One single NAGI on screen at all times. All spoken lines are in Japanese. Sunlight direction stays consistent for all 30 seconds.
