A split-view composition. On the left, Claire stands in a dimly lit hallway, hunched over her phone with a look of intense guilt. On the right, visible through an open doorway, David and two young children are sitting at a brightly lit kitchen table, laughing and eating. The contrast between the cold, dark hallway and the warm, golden kitchen is stark. The palette is deep navy and warm marigold.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Claire: A woman in her early forties with a poised and professional demeanor. She has sharp, intelligent features, high cheekbones, and shoulder-length chestnut hair styled in a crisp, practical bob. She wears a tailored charcoal wool blazer over a delicate silk cream blouse with a modest neckline. Her expression is one of controlled concentration, though subtle tension lines are visible around her tired hazel eyes. She carries an air of high-functioning capability, yet her posture is slightly guarded. The background is a soft-focus modern office with glass partitions and warm ambient lighting, highlighting her professional yet strained energy.
