Prompt:
A modern, colorful manga-style comic panel with clean, confident linework, expressive chibi-influenced proportions, and flat, vibrant colors with soft cel shading. The tone is calm, intimate, and tender, focused on quiet affection and everyday closeness. Dialogue is absent; the scene relies entirely on body language and mood. All text uses a simple, perfectly legible rounded comic font.
Single-panel composition, full-bleed illustration.
Setting:
The interior of a city bus, rendered in a simplified, cozy style. Rows of seats, vertical poles, and large windows suggest gentle motion outside with soft, blurred pastel colors sliding by. Lighting is warm and diffused, evoking late afternoon or early evening, creating a lullaby-like calm.
Characters:
Two young women sit side by side on the same bus seat, barefoot, legs relaxed and slightly angled inward.
Left woman:
She wears a light blouse and a short pleated skirt in bright, youthful colors. Her very short, sharply layered asymmetrical pixie haircut is vivid violet. She is asleep, breathing evenly, with a serene expression. Her head rests gently against the side wall/window of the bus, cheek lightly pressed to the glass. One hand rests loosely on her lap.
Right woman:
She has a voluminous pink double-bun hairstyle and wears only a short denim overall (salopette). Her body features are softly exaggerated in a chibi style. She is also asleep, completely relaxed. Her head rests softly on the left woman’s shoulder, trusting and natural, with her body slightly leaned toward her partner. Her free hand rests calmly in her lap.
Connection:
Their inner hands are gently intertwined, fingers loosely clasped between them, emphasizing trust and mutual comfort even in sleep. The hand-holding is natural, unforced, and tender.
Interaction & mood:
Their closeness feels effortless and safe. One head rests against the bus, the other against her partner; their joined hands form a quiet anchor of intimacy. No exaggerated emotion—only deep comfort and shared rest.
Background details:
Outside the bus windows, soft pastel streaks imply slow movement through the city. Inside, the bus is quiet and uncluttered, enhancing the stillness of the moment.

Overall mood: peaceful, affectionate, and emotionally grounded—celebrating shared silence, trust, and rest in an ordinary place made meaningful by love.
