Charcoal storyboard sketch, cinematic medium-shot, interior of the ancient Mewari Haveli 'Hotel Hil View' main hall (as seen in image_14.png). The heavy carved wooden doors are slowly creaking open. The mysterious silhouette (long black overcoat, black hat, deep brown muffler) enters. The hall is dimly lit. On the right, an old television set is flickering, casting unsteady, cold blue-white light that paints dancing patterns on the dark wood walls. In a far corner, a fireplace is nearly burnt out, emitting only a faint, warm, deep red glow. A cigarette is between the silhouette's lips, its burning end a small, glowing red-yellow point moving in the deep noir shadows. Suddenly, a violent lightning bolt flashes outside, briefly illuminating the figure in sharp detail against the dark background. The figure pauses, takes two deep drags, the smoke plume catching the TV light. They extend a hand and place the burning cigarette on the rim of an ornate wooden carved ashtray. A single, thin, delicate wisp of blue smoke begins to rise. Deep noir atmosphere, high contrast ink drawing style. Visible charcoal smudges and cross-hatching. Text annotation 'SC. 6 SHOT 1 MYSTERY ENTERS INT. NIGHT' written vertically on the left edge. --seed 20261984
