  3. [uniqueness_polish] Add a single memorable visual storytelling moment that contrasts the pizza shop front with a hint of the back-room dealings, creating intrigue at a glance
  4. [contrast_color] Darken or add a subtle vignette to the sky background behind peripheral characters to improve silhouette separation at tiny size and in grayscale
