"prompt": "Concept-art UI hero plate of INBOX ZERO, an Outlook-97-style three-pane mail client, glowing on a bulbous beige CRT in a dark room — the inbox flood, the last human drowning in light. The screen, in slight barrel-curvature, fills the frame with the period mail UI in administrative beige-grey (#c0c0c0), a navy title bar (#000080→#1084d0) reading 'INBOX ZERO', a menu bar and toolbar of tiny raised beige buttons. The classic three panes: a left folder tree (Inbox, Sent, Drafts, Deleted, the Inbox bolded with a swelling unread count); a center message list with sender, subject and time columns, many bold unread rows, a scatter of small red flag icons and unread envelope marks; and a right reading pane showing a clipped message. The single saturated accent and only true glow is red — a red unread counter reading a large number and a red 'OVERWHELMED' status band, the alarm of an inbox past saving, casting a tense red wash onto the beige bezel and the dust. Painterly digital concept art, matte filmic finish, faint CRT scanlines, phosphor bloom, chromatic aberration and grain, a degraded 1999-scan look. Lighting is low and practical — the monitor is the only source, the red status glow against deep shadow, the dark room and a ball-mouse sinking away. Mood: exhausted, drowning, melancholy-administrative; the number never reaches zero, and the only human left is dissolving into the queue.",
