A sun-drenched patio in Scottsdale with terracotta tiles and potted desert plants. The Mother sits alone in a wrought-iron chair, a half-empty glass of tea on the table beside her. She is looking at a framed photograph with an expression of profound, quiet abandonment. The lighting is harsh, bright desert sun casting sharp, black shadows. The palette is dusty orange, sage green, and blinding white.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- The Mother: A sixty-eight-year-old woman with a delicate, fragile appearance. She has thin, silver-white hair styled in soft waves and a pale complexion with fine wrinkles around her mouth and eyes. She wears a soft, oversized lavender cardigan over a floral print dress. Her expression is one of practiced, quiet sadness, with a distant gaze that evokes a sense of loneliness. She sits in a sun-drenched living room filled with framed family photos and porcelain figurines. The lighting is bright and airy, contrasting with the heavy emotional weight of her presence.
