Cursed Japanese School Diary Prompt

An image-to-image prompt for gpt-image-2 that replicates the nostalgic yet eerie look of a Japanese child's school diary from decades past.

Prompt
Based on the original character in the reference image, draw it as a page of an "eerie picture diary" as if written by an elementary school student in the late Showa to early Heisei era. The screen is the page of an old picture diary book. A composition with a child-like drawing in the top half and a vertical diary column in the bottom half. The paper is slightly yellowed, stained, folded, has handprints, eraser marks, pencil rubs, and rain stains. Texture like old scanned paper throughout. In the upper drawing column, draw the reference character in the style of a child's doodle. Character traits must remain. Hair style, eyes, ears, horns, wings, tail, clothing, accessories, color scheme, silhouette, atmosphere, etc. are consistent with character-specific elements. However, do not draw the picture too well. Like an elementary school student drew it with crayons and pencils, the lines are shaking, the painting is messy, and the outlines are distorted. The direction of horror is not a flashy monster, but a feeling that "something a child casually drew is strangely scary." The character in the picture has a sense of discomfort, such as eyes being blacked out even though they are smiling, the face being slightly larger, the shadow being different from a human, looking outside the paper, only the red color being strangely dark, and there is an unexplainable black lump in the background. In the diary section, vertical handwriting in the style of children's handwriting is lined up. You don't have to make the letters completely readable. It's broken in some places, blurred, and has traces of being erased. The atmosphere of the writing is like "Today, I played with XX-chan. But XX-chan knew my name. I wonder why," starting as a normal diary and gradually becoming scary. The content of the diary should change every time based on the image above. It feels creepy, like knowing a name, saying you shouldn't go, trying to make the diary lie and write that it's raining today, etc. Do not include garbled text or meaningless English letters. On the right side, there are columns for "May Xth" and "Weather". There is also a name field, but the name should be blurred or unreadable. The printed ruled lines and frames are slightly shifted like old school handouts. The style is not a realistic horror illustration, but a texture like a photograph of a real picture diary. It's slightly tilted as if taken with a smartphone, shadows are falling, and fine scratches and dirt can be seen on the paper surface. The fear is quiet and the type you notice later.
