Forensic Surrealist Photography Prompt for Liminal Breakroom Incident

A highly detailed, structured prompt for Nano Banana Pro designed to generate 'found footage' stills of a paranormal thermodynamic event in a liminal breakroom. The prompt acts as a 'Field Manual' specifying core parameters, camera system details (type, lens, quality, perspective, artifacts), lighting engine, and material shaders to achieve a forensic surrealist photography style.
