Ritual-Deadline Short: Shrine Keeper and Ember Fox

Animate the first frame into a 15s ritual-deadline short, 16:9, painterly ukiyo-e-influenced anime, ink-wash texture, indigo-vermillion palette, gold-leaf accents. Keep same 2 subjects: Hana Mizuki (indigo-vermillion shrine keeper robes, lacquered box) and the Ember Fox (nine-tailed spectral fox of embers and snow, never humanoid). No swapping roles/forms. 0-2s: Snow falls over shrine. Hana climbs final steps, box in hand, breath visible. 2-3.5s: Hana kneels at altar, opens box. Mask glows faint vermillion. 3.5-5s: Embers rise from snow around altar, defying gravity. 5-6.5s: Fox's eyes ignite within swirling snow, tails unfurl from embers. 6.5-8s: Fox's full form assembles, fur from snowfall, ember trails off silhouette. 8-9.5s: Wind gusts, scatters snow/embers between them, tense held beat. 9.5-11s: Dawn seam brightens on horizon. Hana lowers head, offers mask. 11-12.5s: Fox lowers head, accepts mask, jaw trailing embers. 12.5-14s: Mask dissolves into vermillion light, absorbed into Fox, glow intensifies. 14-15s: Fox dissolves back into snow/embers as true dawn breaks. Hana bows alone, stone fox statue's ear now whole. Camera: low symmetrical shrine shot, mask close-up, ember-rise wide shot, fox-materialization close-up, final dawn reveal. Slow deliberate movement, no fast cuts. Lighting: cold indigo moonlight to warm vermillion ember-glow, gold-leaf flare at acceptance, soft dawn light in final 2s. Ending resolved, unhurried, no cliffhanger.
