Melancholic hand-drawn animated short film, vertical 3:4. Style: gel-pen linework on a desaturated grey-beige world, soft overcast light, slow gentle motion. The hero is a male chibi mouse with wire-thin limbs and wide hollow eyes wearing a pink coat; the pink coat is almost the only warm color in every scene. Consistency across all scenes: the same hero mouse and pink coat; the female mouse always in a pale pink dress; the rival mouse always in a long black coat; the same small bouquet of three white tulips, the same enormous bouquet of cream-white roses, the same pale grey vintage car, the same wrought-iron gate with a brick gatepost. No dialogue, no on-screen text, no bright colors.

Timeline, 15 seconds, ten beats with quick soft cuts:
0.0-1.5s: Macro view of a small flower stall. The pink-coat mouse stands on tiptoe at the counter and picks three white tulips, dropping a few tiny coins into an old seller mouse's paw. Sound: coin clinks, paper rustle.
1.5-3.0s: A quiet cobblestone street with bare trees. The mouse walks slowly, holding the three tulips close to his chest and glancing down with faint hope; the gate is visible far ahead. Camera tracks slowly alongside. Sound: soft footsteps, light wind.
3.0-4.5s: The mouse stops abruptly at a distance from the gate. A pale grey vintage car is parked in front of it, and the tulips sink low at his side. Slow push-in on his hollow eyes. Sound: a car engine idling.
4.5-6.0s: Seen from behind a lamppost: a mouse in a long black coat extends his arm with an enormous cream-white bouquet toward the female mouse in the pale pink dress at the gate. The huge bouquet dwarfs the three tulips. Sound: muffled idling engine.
6.0-7.0s: A battered trash bin at the corner. The hero drops the tulips in with a limp paw, head bowed, and one petal drifts down. Sound: a soft thud, a lid clank.
7.0-8.0s: The hero walks away down the empty street at dusk, hunched, paws in pockets, back to camera, with a long shadow as streetlamps switch on. Sound: slow footsteps.
8.0-9.5s: At the gate the female mouse shakes her head and gently pushes the huge bouquet away; the black-coated mouse's ears droop. She has not seen the hero.
9.5-11.0s: Dusk. She lifts the lid of the small mailbox on the gatepost and peers inside: empty except for one dry leaf. Her ears droop. Sound: a soft mailbox creak.
11.0-12.5s: Night in a quiet office. The pink-coat mouse's paw lays a small wooden photo frame, holding a tiny portrait of the female mouse in pink, face down on the desk. Sound: a soft wooden tap.
12.5-15.0s: Slow push-in. The hero sits alone at the desk by a tall window, chin resting on his paw, gazing at the stars in the night sky; the face-down frame lies in the foreground and tiny stars reflect in his hollow eyes. Final hold. Sound: a ticking clock, faint distant city hum.

Music: a single sparse, slow, melancholic solo piano throughout, no vocals.

A melancholic cinematic story about a small male chibi mouse searching for love, designed as a coherent 20-second animated sequence with consistent character appearance, environment, and visual style. Vertical 3:4 composition. The main character is a tiny chibi male mouse drawn with delicate gel-pen linework, wire-thin limbs and wide hollow eyes, wearing a distinctive pink coat that is almost the only warm color in the desaturated world. Begin with the mouse inside a tiny flower shop, carefully buying a small bouquet of exactly three delicate flowers. He holds the bouquet gently with both hands and leaves the shop, walking alone along a quiet cobblestone street toward the home of a female mouse he cares about. He approaches her small garden gate but stops at a distance when he notices a nice dark car parked outside. Near the gate, another mouse wearing a black coat steps from the car and extends a huge extravagant bouquet toward the female mouse, who wears a simple pink dress. The pink-coated mouse watches silently from far away, his posture slowly collapsing with sadness. He looks down at his tiny bouquet, then quietly throws the three flowers into a nearby outdoor trash can and walks away without being noticed. At the gate, the female mouse gently refuses the enormous bouquet from the black-coated mouse; he lowers it awkwardly, while she remains unaware that the pink-coated mouse was ever there. Transition to the following evening: the female mouse walks to her small mailbox, opens it and searches inside, hoping for another letter from the pink-coated mouse, but the mailbox is completely empty. She closes it sadly and looks down the empty street. Cut to the pink-coated mouse alone in a quiet office late at night. He sits at his desk and gazes through a large window at a dark city skyline and distant stars. Papers and an untouched cup sit on the desk. Beside him is a small framed photograph of the female mouse, but the frame is turned face down, hiding the photograph. End with the mouse remaining completely still, looking toward the stars through the window while cold reflections move across the glass. Slow gentle camera movements, subtle character animation, natural walking and hand gestures, clear emotional progression, smooth cinematic transitions, consistent character proportions and clothing throughout, sparse background detail, soft atmospheric lighting, desaturated grey-blue environment with the pink coat providing the only recurring warmth, delicate hand-drawn gel-pen aesthetic, quiet loneliness, longing, missed connection, and unresolved love. No dialogue, no subtitles, no text, no additional characters beyond those described, no sudden camera changes, no comedy, no exaggerated facial expressions.

A 20-second continuous cinematic animation sequence with gel-pen linework art style, wire-thin limbs, wide hollow expressive eyes, and a desaturated, gloomy color palette where the male mouse's pink coat provides the primary pop of color.
