Grounded prestige television realism, naturalistic live-action cinematography, nuanced human emotion, realistic faces and bodies, no comic-book style, no exaggerated horror, no sci-fi future design, no readable text, no watermarks, no real brand logos, no real Olympic rings. The year is 2016 for Rio scenes and 2019-2021 for Chicago scenes. Use practical locations, humid light, documentary intimacy, and production-design detail suitable as a source/reference image for later keyframe generation.

Continuity for the marked pupil: The marked pupil is a subtle pale crescent-shaped mark inside the dark pupil or at the pupil/iris edge, interrupted by a tiny black seed-like fleck, visible only in soft side light. It is realistic, beautiful, unsettling, not glowing, not supernatural, not a cataract, not a decorative contact lens.

Full-body and close portrait character reference for Dr. Helena Lena Azevedo, Brazilian epidemiologist, late 30s in 2016. Olive-brown skin, sharp expressive eyes, dark curly hair tied back loosely, minimal makeup, practical field-public-health outfit with rolled sleeves, city ID badge with fictional design, practical shoes, lightweight rain jacket over one arm. She looks exhausted, observant, and used to being right too early. Neutral public-health lab background with mosquito sample tubes and old computer, cinematic but clear, realistic actor casting reference.

Full-body and close portrait character reference for Mara Vale, American documentary producer, early 30s in 2016. Light skin, brown hair, curious warm eyes, practical travel clothes, small documentary camera rig, press lanyard with fictional design, lived-in backpack, rain and heat slightly frizzing her hair. She feels observant, empathetic, ambitious, and a little too willing to film before she understands. Rio crowd atmosphere behind her, flags blurred, no real logos.

Chicago continuity: Chicago family interiors and clinics: winter gray outside, warm nursery lamps, modern baby technology that later gets removed, soft natural window light.

Tender close portrait and half-body reference for baby Iara Vale, a marked infant around six months old, fully human and vulnerable, held near a Chicago apartment window in soft side light. Her eye must show the consistent mark: subtle pale crescent-shaped mark inside the dark pupil, interrupted by a tiny black seed-like fleck, realistic human eye, not glowing, not supernatural. She is calm while touching her mother's hand. Muted cotton blanket, no visible screens, intimate naturalistic photography.

Two-year-old Iara Vale in a stripped-down Chicago nursery, reaching toward her father's cheek while avoiding a small hand-carved wooden horse on the floor. The pupil mark is barely visible in soft side light: subtle pale crescent inside the dark pupil with tiny black seed-like fleck, realistic and not glowing. The moment should feel emotionally complicated: the child is loving the father but refusing the object he made. Muted cotton, pale wood floor, no screens, naturalistic drama still.
