  "style_fidelity_anchors": [
    "[CORE] At a glance the dominant picture is ONE coherent recognizable human face, divided into aligned rectangular photo tiles by narrow off-white gutters. The facial tiles are crops of one continuous portrait, not different portraits or randomly rearranged features.",
    "[CORE] Replace a small minority of face-grid cells with discrete photographs of shared everyday memories. These memory photographs occupy whole cells inside the facial mosaic, never as a separate moodboard beside the face and never as translucent double exposure.",
    "[CORE] Leave selected grid cells completely empty as warm off-white paper. These absences interrupt the portrait meaningfully while enough eye, nose and mouth information remains to recognize a face.",
    "[CORE] Dominant facial tiles use harsh black-and-white coarse newspaper halftone dots and slightly broken xerographic ink. Memory inserts use muted faded analog color, with exactly one small fluorescent pink-and-black memory tile as an emotional anchor.",
    "[CORE] Use tactile off-white printed paper, visibly structured halftone and restrained wear; strong black grotesk lettering shares the grid and occupies a missing or merged-cell space instead of floating as an unrelated caption.",
    "[FLEX] Choose grid density, portrait angle, missing-cell placement and title scale to express the particular relationship. Preserve contiguous facial landmarks and clear reading order.",
    "[FLEX] Recompose portrait as a tall interrupted face and landscape as a broader off-center facial field with a title entering an intentional gap; neither crop nor simply shrink the portrait version.",
    "[FLEX] Memory fragments, their chromatic warmth and the direction of the missing area can change by story. Keep only a few specific fragments, with one pink anchor and generous blank paper."

    "reference_two": "Single face recognizable from fragmented halftone rectangles, blank cells dissolve the portrait; heavy black sans-serif letter blocks and worn paper.",
    "synthesis": "One face holds several shared lived moments. Grid provides continuity, selective photograph replacements tell the story, absent cells imply forgetting, one pink cell identifies an emotionally persistent detail."

        "MAIN_TEXT": "WHAT YOU REMEMBER OF ME",
        "SECONDARY_TEXT": "We kept the small things.",
        "DESIGN_DIRECTION": "Warm intimacy rather than melodrama. Place two cups near the lower cheek region and rain-window near a temple; the pink touching-hands cell is near the opposite cheek. Preserve both eye contours, nose and enough mouth. An empty cell beside the smile suggests something unsaid. Portrait: close face fills upper and middle grid, title steps into a merged-cell opening along lower-right face contour. Landscape: face occupies left-center, a wider blank gap at right of the cheek holds the title; three memories stay within the face-grid field."

        "SECONDARY_TEXT": "Some journeys stayed with us.",
        "DESIGN_DIRECTION": "Separation is expressed by a stepped diagonal sequence of two missing cells from temple toward outer jaw, never erasing both eyes or the nose. Train-window horizon aligns with an existing grid seam. Portrait: tall off-center face, diagonal blanks lead downward toward title embedded at jaw level. Landscape: broaden the face-grid laterally with the train-window memory as a horizontal tile, title in a missing lower-left region; keep one coherent face and the pink ticket as a small anchor inside the mosaic."

        "SECONDARY_TEXT": "The room still remembers.",
        "DESIGN_DIRECTION": "Generational memory and domestic warmth. The lower face remains smiling; avoid sentimental decorative icons. Let missing outer-hair cells dissolve the portrait outward, while central eye-nose-mouth area stays intact. The flour-board replaces an outer jaw cell and curtain replaces upper hair cell; pink hands near side cheek. Portrait: a central face with porous edges, title occupies blank cells at lower-left and crosses toward center. Landscape: face and peripheral memory cells spread broadly, title nested in the open left-edge grid; retain a warm smile as focal point."

        "DESIGN_DIRECTION": "Absence as a quiet pause. Keep the mouth tile intact and place an empty adjoining cell beside it, letting title inhabit the pause rather than censoring lips. Vinyl record replaces a temple cell, empty chairs occupy outer cheek, pink earbuds a small lower face-edge cell. Portrait: asymmetrical portrait with title broken across two adjacent blank grid zones near lower half. Landscape: face occupies right-center, horizontal silence of blank cells opens leftward for the title; memory tiles stay embedded in the portrait field."
