Strictly maintain character identity, spatial position, left-right relationship, direction of movement, weather, lighting, and color tone continuity throughout the video.

[Core Cinematography Technique]
The entire video uses "progressive optical zoom" as the sole core camera movement. The camera remains as fixed as possible, relying not on physical movement but on slow, continuous optical push-ins and pull-outs to change the characters' screen proportion and spatial relationships. Maintain real lens compression, depth of field changes, and optical characteristics; prohibit digital cropping. Foreground occlusion, shallow depth of field, and focus shifts assist the narrative, forming "discovery from afar -> eye contact across the alley -> spatial compression -> emotional confirmation."

[0-4s]
Medium shot start, 35mm, fixed camera, eye level. Female Lead A slowly descends along the bluestone steps to the alley entrance, stops, turns, and looks up, seeing Female Lead B under the distant corridor eaves. The shot begins with a wider environmental relationship composition, only slowly optically pushing in, gradually tightening to a medium shot of Female Lead A, with no camera movement.

Town pedestrians pass horizontally through the foreground from left and right, creating natural blurred occlusions at close range,
