Art style: 2D Hand-drawn. MASTER PROMPT — STRICT CHARACTER CONSISTENCY. Use the approved character reference of ARTEM as the absolute source of truth. ARTEM must remain EXACTLY the same approved Artem from all previous scenes: identical face, facial proportions, hairstyle, age, body proportions, work clothes and overall visual identity. Maintain the exact same 2D animated visual style, character design language, linework, proportions and level of detail established in the previous approved scenes. SCENE 12: Evening in Moscow immediately after Artem's first construction shift. Artem is riding home alone inside an ordinary city bus. He is still wearing EXACTLY the same work clothes from the construction site: dark blue work jacket with reflective stripes, gray hoodie underneath, dark work trousers. His clothes are dusty and slightly dirty after the shift. His face also shows natural traces of construction dust and fatigue. Artem sits alone by the bus window. Warm evening city light passes through the window while Moscow apartment buildings and streets move outside. He is quiet and deeply thoughtful, replaying what he saw at the construction site. IMPORTANT STORY DETAIL: Artem looks down at his own dirty hands. His hands show realistic construction dust, dirt and a few very small superficial work abrasions from physical labor. Nothing dramatic or graphic. Then Artem looks at his smartphone. The phone clearly shows a bank payment notification: +4,500 ₽ The amount must be clearly readable. Artem looks from the phone back to his dirty hands. His expression is tired, silent and thoughtful. He is NOT happy, NOT celebrating, NOT angry. This is a quiet internal moment. He earned 4,500 rubles with his own physical labor, but he is thinking about what he just witnessed when Viktor organized the workers and handled the payments. Do not turn this into a dramatic revelation or instant business ambition. SHOT STRUCTURE — MAXIMUM 3 PANELS: Panel 1: Medium shot. Artem sits alone by the window of the moving evening bus. He looks tired and thoughtful. Warm Moscow evening outside the window. Panel 2: Close-up of Artem's dirty hands resting in front of him. Natural construction dust and several tiny superficial work abrasions. His smartphone is visible in one hand showing a clear bank notification: +4,500 ₽. Panel 3: Medium close-up of Artem. He lowers the phone and looks again at his dirty hands. Quiet thoughtful expression, processing the events of the day. IMPORTANT: Maximum 3 panels. Only Artem is a main character in this scene. Do NOT include Viktor. Do NOT include Sergey. Do NOT return to the construction site. Do NOT change Artem's face. Do NOT change Artem's hairstyle. Do NOT change Artem's work clothes. No duplicated Artem. No six-panel collage. No distorted hands. Exactly five fingers per visible hand. No extra fingers. No impossible anatomy. No exaggerated injuries. No dramatic blood. No smile. No celebration. No speech bubbles. No captions. No additional text except the required smartphone payment amount: +4,500 ₽. Preserve realistic human anatomy, physical logic, scale and perspective. The scene must feel like a direct continuation of Scene 11 and must be suitable for later image-to-video animation. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image in the following art style: Classic 2D hand-drawn animation, clean expressive outlines, simplified shapes, soft cel shading, illustrated backgrounds, traditional animated-film aesthetic.
