### Full prompt
```text
A wholly original [simple black-and-white comic strip] in a [retro hand-inked manga style], arranged across [3 horizontal panels]. Treat the reference photo as the character reference; redraw the person entirely in manga form with consistent line work and hand-inked screentone shading across all panels. Depict the person as the main character in an uplifting narrative following a setup-reinforce-turnaround structure: panel one establishes context, panel two develops the situation, and panel three reveals a heartwarming surprise twist. Include short, natural, upbeat dialogue bubbles. Traditional setting, no modern technology.
