Visual style (Transition)
Source: https://visual-gallery.asami.tokyo/en/styles/distress-transition

The picture breaks down like a distressed print, crumbling into noise and scratches before the cut.

## Palette
- #08090B Black (~50%)
- #E9E7DF Paper (~30%)
- #777975 Gray (~15%)
- #FFFFFF White (~5%)

## Visual traits
- Mid-transition: the frame is half eaten by a rough black-and-white texture, like a worn photocopy
- Speckle, blotches and fine vertical scratches cover the image
- Contrast is pushed hard; midtones drop out
- Sequence: the texture spreads until the frame is fully distressed, holds briefly, then clears onto the next shot

## Prompt
Distress transition, mid-frame: the picture half eaten by a rough high-contrast black-and-white texture like a worn photocopy, speckle, blotches and fine vertical scratches, midtones dropping out. Sequence: the texture spreads until the frame is fully distressed, then clears onto the next shot.

## Avoid
clean image, smooth gradients, color, digital RGB glitch
