### **Multi-Panel Reference Prompt**
> **Composition:** A 9:16 vertical image divided into three chronological horizontal panels.
> **Character & Consistency Constraint:** The character is the man from **[YOUR_REFERENCE_IMAGE]**. In every panel, his face, specific features (such as cheekbones, expression, and stubble/hairline), and his dark, heavy-textured overcoat must remain identical to **[YOUR_REFERENCE_IMAGE]**. He must maintain direct eye contact with the camera in all four scenes.
> **The Narrative Arc (Top to Bottom):**
>  * **Panel 1 (The Approach):** A wide-angle shot. The character from **[YOUR_REFERENCE_IMAGE]** stands on a desolate, misty shoreline, looking forward.
>  * **Panel 2 (Entering the Tide):** The character is waist-deep in dark, swirling ocean water. The waves are crashing around his coat as he looks into the camera.
>  * **Panel 3 (The Submergence):** Close-up. The character is submerged to his chin in murky water. His resolute, haunting gaze is locked on the lens.
> **Style:** High-contrast black-and-white cinematography, film noir aesthetic, heavy grain texture, moody, 8k resolution.
