REFERENCE PRIORITY: reference image 1 is the authoritative Character sheet. Use its close-up portrait panels to preserve identity. Any additional references only clarify that same identity. The direction prompt below may control mood, outfit, light and background, but must never change face, body, apparent age, gender or ethnicity. DIRECTION PORTRAIT PROMPT: Calm, mature recovery and lifestyle creator portrait in soft window light. Use a warm neutral home or cafe background, a composed empathetic confident expression, a refined casual outfit and quiet new-chapter energy. The direction controls only mood, styling and background; keep the exact identity from the Character sheet.

Joel grew up in Lagos, studied software engineering and landed a role with a Berlin-based tech startup at 26, moving alone to a city where he knew no one. He met his wife there — a German-Brazilian graphic designer — and they married quickly, energetically, too young. The discovery of an affair at 28 was not a surprise in the way he expected: he had felt something closing off for over a year. The divorce was fast by legal standards and devastating by every other. He processed it through long solo bike rides, terrible experimental cooking and eventually a phone camera he started talking to. 'New Frequency' is his attempt to document the strange, sometimes funny, often hard experience of rebuilding as an immigrant man in a city that isn't his hometown.
