Nostalgic Japanese Summer Sunset

Create a nostalgic, photorealistic vertical scene titled “the beginning of summer”: a steep old stone stairway descending through a quiet Japanese seaside town at sunset, viewed from behind and slightly above as {argument name="number of schoolgirls" default="two"} Japanese schoolgirls walk downhill side by side. The girls wear summer school uniforms: white short-sleeve blouses, dark plaid pleated skirts, dark socks and shoes, each carrying a dark school bag; their long dark hair and relaxed posture suggest an after-school walk home. The wet or glossy stone steps catch strong orange-pink sunset reflections, creating long dark shadows stretching toward the viewer. Frame the path with exactly two prominent traditional houses, one on the left with a gray tiled roof and one on the right with dark wooden siding and a balcony-like facade; include stone walls, metal handrails, utility poles, small rooftops, and dense greenery along the narrow slope. Overhead, dark tree branches and leaves form a natural silhouette canopy across the top of the image. In the distance, show a calm ocean bay with a glowing vertical trail of sunlight on the water, a low sun near the horizon, small islands or headlands, and a compact coastal neighborhood below. Use {argument name="sunset color palette" default="warm pink, peach, lavender, and deep indigo"}, cinematic natural light, high contrast silhouettes, soft haze over the sea, realistic texture in the stones and rooftops, and a quiet nostalgic Japanese summer atmosphere. No text, no watermark, no modern signage, no extra people beyond the two girls.
