    "[CORE] The coarse screen IS the drawing: cells spaced 0.7–1.2 percent of the short edge erase features, leaving only a few face planes and no fine linework.",
    "[CORE] Use electric green for ground and hero highlights, dead black for shadows and knockout blocks, and acid lime for the oversized title and square-screen highlights.",
    "[CORE] Flat clipped exposure crushes skin, fabric and props into ink; no glossy lighting, smooth shading, wrinkles, anime eyes or illustrative outlines survive.",
    "[CORE] Movable black knockout blocks and a straight scan-splice interrupt the heavy human mass, with about 28–32 percent genuinely quiet solid field.",
    "[CORE] Angular condensed upright industrial sans letters are large and solid with blunt clipped corners; the primary name stays exactly readable through aggressive image collisions.",
    "[FLEX] Move and rotate the title, switch close and full-body crops, and relocate the straight splice to express each character story.",
    "[FLEX] Round screen may merge into square cells locally, while whole masses bleed off edges and broad voids swallow secondary detail."

Three-quarter side view at body height, both arms flung up; exposed head, neck, torso and separated legs form an instantly legible human silhouette. The torn sheet flies up and away as a second broad mass, connected only at the raised hands, with a large green gap between sheet and body. Molting is visibly something peeling off a body, never a hooded figure or top-down crouch. Face stays erased.",
        "DESIGN_DIRECTION": "Portrait: dynamic side-on body rises from lower-left/center, separated striding legs crop at the bottom, arms lift toward upper-right; a large ragged square-dither sheet blows across the upper area as a distinct flying mass. Strong flat green negative space separates sheet from bare head and torso. Horizontal condensed MOLT sits in the MIDDLE zone on a black scan-splice knockout, interlocking with the gap and body edge without hiding the shedding action; no top, bottom or side title rail. Wide: recompose the same peeling gesture across the width, body left/center and separate sheet sweeping upper-right, green gap clearly open; MOLT remains mid-height in a compact black block in that gap. Coarse round dots build body, coarse lime square cells build sheet; screen creates broad planes, with no wrinkles or facial linework. Keep the existing series palette, clipped exposure, distressed angular condensed upright type and roughly 28–32 percent quiet solid field."

Portrait jaw dominates right, quiet black left wedge, huge oblique title cuts through center at jaw level. Wide mouth center-left, microphone lower-right, title across upper-middle. Hard crop bleeds three edges; no individual teeth, lip lines or skin contours."
