Occluded Night Bus Window Scene

Prompt

Create a moody cinematic night photograph in a wide 16:9 frame, shot from inside or beside a bus or tram window in a rainy urban setting. The scene should be dark and atmospheric, with heavy glass reflections, soft film grain, shallow depth of field, and out-of-focus city bokeh lights in red, white, yellow, cyan, and blue. On the right half of the image, show the partial silhouette of {argument name="subject" default="a person seated by the window"}, mostly obscured by darkness and reflections, with only hair and shoulder shape faintly visible. Cover the subject's face with one large opaque square censor block, centered over the head and upper torso area, colored deep charcoal blue-gray, with sharp clean edges and no text. In the background, include a glowing blurry cyan-blue neon sign near the upper left that vaguely resembles letters but remains unreadable, plus vertical window frames and dark bus interior structure. Use a gritty analog film look, low contrast shadows, cool blue-green color grading, dim exposure, and soft motion-blurred street lights; no readable text, no watermark, no extra subjects.
