He Crossed Frames to Find Her

CRITICAL: Preserve both people's facial features exactly as in the reference photos. Both must be clearly recognizable.

Create two vertical photo booth strips side by side on a dark red textured fabric background. Each strip has 4 square black-and-white frames stacked vertically with white borders.

The story: he gradually leaves HIS strip (right) and appears in HER strip (left).

LEFT STRIP:
Frame 1: woman ALONE, smiling at camera
Frame 2: couple TOGETHER — he has appeared next to her, they look at each other laughing
Frame 3: couple kissing, eyes closed
Frame 4: couple embracing, both smiling at camera

RIGHT STRIP:
Frame 1: man ALONE, smiling at camera
Frame 2: man ALONE, looking sideways toward her, as if about to leave his frame
Frame 3: the frame is almost empty — only a faint shadow or slight blur where he was, he has left
Frame 4: empty frame — just the photo booth background, no person, he is gone completely

All frames black-and-white, high contrast, slight film grain. Direct front flash, flat photo booth lighting. Both wear simple dark clothing. Tight framing — head and shoulders. Strips are separate, never merging.
