SCENE LOCK: Static tripod, natural 35mm lens feel, camera at 1.6m height, centered on a massive moss-covered tree stump in a misty evergreen forest. Same framing for all stages. Fixed landmarks: tall straight pine tree on left edge, fallen log on right mid-ground, dense foggy forest background, circular stump top centered in frame, forest floor covered in wet brown leaves. STAGE: Before stage — the stump appears sealed and natural, no visible hatch opening. Moss thick and overgrown, surface uneven, partially rotted wood. No visible ladder or light. Looks abandoned and untouched. DETAILS: Wet moss texture, dripping moisture, fallen leaves stuck to bark, damp soil around stump base, subtle morning fog, muted overcast forest lighting, realistic shadows under trees, natural bark cracks and fungal growth. NEGATIVE: no text, no logos, no watermarks, no warped geometry, no modern objects, no visible ladder, no glowing light, no floating elements, no impossible reflections, no teleporting elements
