Prompt 2

The origami figures, made from paper printed with black and white text (like newspaper), rest on a dark, polished wooden table that softly reflects light. One figure is a raccoon, detailed and realistic with folded stripes. The other is a humanoid boy doll—larger than the raccoon—crafted from the same newspaper material. The boy has disheveled brown felt hair, black eyes, light skin, and wears a collared shirt, tie, and shorts made from paper folds. He holds an open umbrella supported by a thin handle.

It casts warm, tungsten-toned illumination that creates defined, elongated shadows and a cozy nocturnal ambiance. The background is dark and blurred, featuring soft bokeh and emphasizing the table and origami figures as the focus.
