The output image is a 2x2 four-panel storyboard.

Video style: 2000s Japanese anime OVA style

Background: Late-night city streets. Between abandoned roads and skyscrapers. Black liquid splattered from a giant monster clings to the asphalt and walls. Dust is swirling and sparks are flying.

Character 1: A high school girl with long black hair. She is wearing a sailor uniform. A Japanese sword hangs sheathed at her waist. She cautiously scans her surroundings, adopting a low stance.

Character 2: A high school girl with a blonde bob haircut. She is wearing a blazer-style school uniform. Standing behind her companion, she keeps one hand ready to use her ability at any moment. Her expression is tense.

Enemy presence: Black liquid gathers and transforms into a humanoid entity with a fibrous, thread-like texture. Its face is vague, its limbs are unnaturally long, and it crawls across the ground and walls with unnatural movements.

Panel 1: Close-up of the ground. It is covered in black liquid. Dust and sparks are flying.

Panel 2: Medium shot. The humanoid anomaly rises from the black liquid and awkwardly begins to stand. Thread-like shadows droop down and drag along the ground.

Panel 3: Low-angle wide shot. Multiple anomalies appear one after another from the roads and walls, surrounding the girls in a circle. The cityscape emphasizes the feeling of being trapped.

Panel 4: Shot from behind the girls. In front of them is a horde of black humanoid creatures closing in. The black-haired girl rests her hand on the sheath, and the blonde-haired girl prepares to activate her ability. The composition emphasizes the tension just before the battle.
