Video prompt: SCENE CONTEXT
A needle-felted wool doll single mother works late alone in a dark office, walks home through the night street, and finds her son asleep. As she tucks his blanket he wakes, shows her his exam paper scored 100, and they hug while a single tear rolls down her cheek.

ACTIVE REFERENCES
@image1: needle-felted wool doll mother, low dark-brown ponytail with loose strands, light blue collared shirt, knee-length chunky grey knit cardigan, navy trousers, brown felt shoes, blue lanyard with white ID badge, brown felt shoulder bag. 100% matches the reference.
@image2: needle-felted wool doll boy aged 10, short messy black hair with a cowlick, short-sleeve navy-and-white vertical-striped pyjamas with white buttons and chest pocket, striped shorts. 100% matches the reference.
@image3: dark felt office, single desk lamp by the arched window, city bokeh outside.
@image4: felt bedroom, bed with sky-blue blanket and white pillow, pillow end at back-left by the window, desk with glowing star lamp at frame left, door at frame right opening to a warm-lit hallway.
@image5: cream felt exam paper folded in half, grey "Exam Paper" heading, red tick marks, large red "100" with two short underline strokes inside a red circle on the right half.

FORMAT MODE
Timed multishot. Cuts only at the specified points, the camera does not cut on its own.

0.0s to 5.0s — @image3. MS, 47° FOV, static, eye-level. @image1 sits alone at the lit desk by the arched window, typing on the felt laptop. She stops, rubs the back of her neck, exhales, shoulders dropping.
5.0s HARD CUT
5.0s to 9.0s — Night street made of felt: felt pavement, warm streetlamps, dark felt shopfronts. WS, 63° FOV, camera tracks alongside at 3 km/h. @image1 walks alone, bag on her shoulder, head slightly lowered, slow steps.
9.0s HARD CUT
9.0s to 14.0s — @image4. Camera low at the front-left of the bed, 63° FOV, static. @image2 sleeps under the sky-blue blanket in the foreground, eyes closed. At frame right the door slowly swings wider and @image1 appears in the warm hallway light, bag no longer on her shoulder. She rests her head against the door frame and her face softens into a small smile.
14.0s HARD CUT
14.0s to 18.0s — @image4. MS, 47° FOV, static. @image1 kneels at the front side of the bed near the pillow and slowly pulls the blanket up to @image2's shoulders, smoothing the edge with her palm.
18.0s HARD CUT
18.0s to 21.0s — CU on @image2, 29° FOV, static. His closed eyes blink open, he sees her, and his mouth opens into his wide bright smile. He props himself up on one elbow.
21.0s HARD CUT
21.0s to 24.0s — INSERT, 18° FOV. His felt hand slides @image5 out from under the pillow, unfolds it and holds it toward his mother. The red circled "100" is in sharp focus.
24.0s HARD CUT
24.0s to 30.0s — MCU two-shot, 29° FOV, slow push-in at 1 km/h. @image1 looks at the paper, then at him. Her head tilts, her shoulders lift once, and a single clear glossy tear slides down her felt cheek from her bead eye. She pulls him into a hug; he wraps his arms around her neck, the paper still in his hand against her shoulder. They hold still to the end. No drift mid-segment.

PERFORMANCE
Slow, small, restrained movement with a slight stop-motion stepped rhythm. Tiredness shown by dropped shoulders and slow steps; emotion shown by pauses, the head tilt and the single tear.

LIGHTING
Office: warm 3200K desk lamp pool in cool blue darkness. Street: warm 3000K streetlamp pools with dark gaps. Bedroom: warm 3200K hallway spill and star lamp glow as key, cool 8500K moonlight from the window as rim light.

AUDIO
One continuous soft solo piano piece, quiet in the office, swelling gently in the final hug. Faint keyboard clicks, night street ambience, soft door creak, blanket and paper rustle. No dialogue, no voices.

STYLE
Needle-felted wool stop-motion miniature, every object and surface made of wool felt with visible fibres, tilt-shift miniature photography, shallow depth of field, soft bokeh, cosy healing atmosphere, 16:9.

POSITIVE LOCKS
The mother is clearly taller than the boy: standing, his head reaches her shoulder. Mother's ponytail, grey cardigan and lanyard identical in every cut. The boy's mouth stays closed while asleep and opens only into his wide smile; neither character speaks. Exam paper shows the red circled "100" with two underline strokes every time it appears. Wool fibre texture on every surface.
