Master prompt

Rain-streaked night train window framing a sleeper-car passenger's reflection, neon city lights smearing into liquid streaks across the glass. The camera pushes in slowly through the window, shallow focus drifting between the passenger's contemplative face and the racing droplets outside, each bead of water bending the city's glow into shimmering ribbons. Flickering fluorescent cabin light washes over the scene in pale green-white pulses, contrasting with the warm amber and magenta neon bleeding through the rain. Droplets race sideways, merging and splitting in hypnotic patterns, while distant station announcements echo muffled through the carriage. The passenger's breath fogs a small patch of glass, briefly obscuring then revealing the passing lights. Melancholic lo-fi mood, quiet solitude in motion, cinematic 35mm grain, intimate and dreamlike, the city rushing past like a half-remembered dream.
