Vertical 9:16 cinematic frame in the style of a hand-painted dark graphic-novel animation (muted browns and greens, teal shadows, heavy ink shading, film grain). Night in a 1990s Soviet apartment: an old boxy CRT television stands on a polished wooden cabinet, its convex screen glowing with bluish-white static noise; a red patterned Persian-style carpet hangs on the wall behind it, a lace doily and a crystal ashtray on the cabinet, a dark window with a radiator on the left, faint cigarette smoke drifting in the TV light. Shot on a 35mm lens from a slightly low angle, the TV in the right third, deep shadows everywhere else, a thin red-orange rim of light (#FF3D2E) on the TV edges. No readable text, no letters, no logos, no watermark.
