Create a cinematic dark cyberpunk scene at midnight in a gigantic futuristic megacity during heavy rain. A mysterious beautiful woman wearing a long glossy black futuristic trench coat stands in the foreground of a crowded rain-soaked street. Show her mostly from behind, but have her slowly looking over her shoulder toward the viewer with a calm, dangerous expression. Towering skyscrapers disappear into dark fog above her. The streets are packed with people carrying transparent illuminated umbrellas. Wet pavement creates dramatic reflections of deep red, electric blue and subtle magenta neon lights. The key visual moment: every enormous holographic billboard across the surrounding skyscrapers has suddenly changed at the same time. Each screen displays the same mysterious portrait of the woman, distorted slightly by digital glitches and interference. Several futuristic security drones hover above the street and turn toward her, projecting thin red scanning beams through the rain. High above the skyline, an enormous ominous glowing red holographic eye appears between the skyscrapers, watching the entire city. Make the woman feel small compared with the overwhelming scale of the city and surveillance system. Create a strong sense that something extraordinary has just happened and the viewer is seeing the opening frame of a cyberpunk movie. Photorealistic cinematic photography, realistic human proportions and skin, sophisticated futuristic fashion, heavy atmospheric rain, volumetric fog, dramatic rim lighting, deep blacks, controlled neon lighting, wet reflective streets, realistic reflections, atmospheric depth, highly detailed architecture, subtle film grain, anamorphic cinematic feeling, mysterious dystopian atmosphere, premium sci-fi movie still. Composition: vertical 4:5 portrait optimized for an X feed, woman in the lower center, giant red eye dominating the upper background, multiple billboards clearly visible around her. No watermark, no logos, no brand names, no captions, no random readable text.
