Volume 1 – Chapter 1: “Running Away”

Story Points:

Ji Hun is bored and unhappy with his life in the band “Forever.” Inner thoughts reveal his frustration and desire to escape.

He decides to run away; changes his appearance with a ginger curly wig and glasses to hide his identity.

Ji Hun sneaks out, but security guards notice him and start chasing him.

While running, he accidentally bumps into Min Joon, a girl with long curly black hair, wearing a hoodie and baggy jeans. They fall on the ground.

Min Joon helps him up and insists on taking him to her home to relax.

She offers him tea and biscuits; they start talking. Ji Hun lies and says his name is “Jin” and that he is an accountant.

He notices posters of his band “Forever” in her room and realizes she is a fan. Min Joon praises Ji Hun’s voice, making him shy.

Ji Hun talks about never enjoying life; Min Joon promises to teach him how to enjoy life.

Ji Hun hesitates, worried about being recognized, but she reassures him. He agrees to go with her.

Min Joon prepares to take him outside, setting up the transition to Chapter 2 (car ride and amusement park).

create an image which conveys "Kindness is one thing you can't give away - it always comes back."
"Create a realistic image of a majestic California Condor in flight, soaring high above the dramatic red sandstone cliffs and deep canyons of Zion National Park in Utah. The condor has black feathers with white patches under its massive wings, a bald head with orange hues, and a wingspan of about 10 feet. Below, show the iconic landscape with towering rock formations, sparse green vegetation, the Virgin River winding through the valley, and distant snow-capped peaks under a clear blue sky at golden hour sunset for warm lighting and long shadows. High detail, photorealistic style, wide-angle view to capture the vastness of the park."

A stunning, high-contrast black and white cinematic still, mimicking the style of 1920s German Expressionism. Depict a luxurious, futuristic rooftop garden party. The scene features Freder, the young master, surrounded by several glamorous, wealthy, aristocratic ladies. The women are all dressed in ornate, art-deco-inspired gowns, their hair styled in sleek 1920s waves. Each lady wears an intricate, opulent Venetian masquerade mask that covers their eyes, adding an element of mystery and formality. In the background, the colossal, sharp, angular skyscrapers of the 'Metropolis' cityscape loom under a dramatic, moody sky. The garden is filled with exotic, highly geometric and stylized plants and gilded statues, reflecting the extreme wealth of the elite. Cinematic lighting, dramatic shadows, deep focus, silent film aesthetic, high detail, photorealistic.

"A historically accurate depiction of a Ghost Dance, focusing on the late 19th-century context, specifically around 1890-1891. The scene shows Lakota (Sioux) or Northern Paiute people (specify one or include elements of both, but avoid anachronisms) participating in the ceremony.

Setting: A vast, open prairie or high desert landscape, under an expansive sky. The time of day could be dusk or night, with a prominent moon or stars, or a bright, clear day. Avoid overtly spiritual or ethereal elements like floating spirits unless explicitly requested for a later, more symbolic iteration. The focus should be on the earthly ceremony.

Participants: A circle of men, women, and children, hand-in-hand, moving in a slow, rhythmic shuffle or circular motion. Their faces show a mixture of devotion, hope, and determination. Some may have expressions of trance or deep concentration.

Attire:

    Ghost Dance Shirts/Dresses: Emphasize the unique Ghost Dance shirts and dresses, which were typically made of muslin or canvas. These garments should feature painted designs such as stars, crescents, birds (especially eagles or crows), buffalo, human figures, or crosses. The designs should appear hand-painted, not mass-produced.

    Hair and Adornments: Participants should have braided hair or wear it long. Some may wear feathers (e.g., eagle or hawk feathers) in their hair. Minimal traditional adornments, as the focus was often on the Ghost Dance shirt itself. Avoid overly elaborate or Hollywood-esque depictions of war bonnets unless relevant to a specific individual and context.

    Footwear: Moccasins or bare feet.

Action/Atmosphere:

    The dancers are moving in a counter-clockwise circle, with a central figure or a small group often leading.

    The overall mood is one of earnest prayer and communal spiritual effort. The dance should convey a sense of hope for renewal and the return of the old ways, rather than aggression or despair.

    There might be a central pole or small fire as a focal point, around which the dance takes place.

    Avoid any signs of direct conflict or violence; the Ghost Dance itself was a non-violent spiritual movement.

Specific Considerations for Accuracy:

    Wovoka's Influence: The teachings of Wovoka (the Northern Paiute prophet) emphasized peace, hard work, and the return of the buffalo and deceased ancestors. The scene should subtly reflect this hopeful, redemptive spirit.

    Regional Variations: If focusing on Lakota, consider their specific interpretations, which sometimes included more imagery related to their warrior traditions on the shirts, but still within the peaceful framework of the dance.

    Respectful Portrayal: Ensure the depiction is respectful and avoids any stereotypical or caricatured representations of Indigenous people. Focus on their human dignity and spiritual sincerity.

Neon-Futurism Digital Art Style, Bioluminescent Sci-Fi Cosmic Setting, Monolithic Scale. A perspective shot from behind the rider, looking toward a massive obstacle course in deep space.

The Rider & Bike Consistency: The lone motorcyclist—wearing the same sleek armored suit and helmet—is navigating the hubless "light-cycle" sportbike. The cyan and orange neon rings of the wheels reflect off the floating crystalline surfaces surrounding the road.

The Path (The Labyrinth): The glowing blue laser-grid highway enters a colossal asteroid field where the rocks are perfectly geometric, hovering like floating obsidian city blocks. The path winds through these monoliths, creating a "Cosmic Labyrinth."

The Taurus Presence: Standing at the center of this labyrinth, spanning across the highway, is the monumental form of the Celestial Bull. He is composed of dense, glowing emerald and earth-toned circuitry. His massive, forward-curving horns are made of solid, brilliant starlight and form a natural "archway" that the highway passes beneath.

The Atmosphere: The scene feels grounded and powerful. The deep greens and golds of the Taurus figure contrast with the dark, heavy shadows of the geometric asteroids.

Lighting: The "starlight horns" cast a warm, heavy glow downward onto the rider, illuminating the dust of crushed nebulae kicked up by the bike’s tires.
