Four 14 and 25 August runs of photoreal dark fantasy each show a man in a coat with a crystal on his chest, usually with a purple glow.

Four Seedance 2.5 runs (14 and 25 August 2026 UTC) were made from text alone with photoreal dark-fantasy look targets. H01 viewed 12 timestamped frames of each.

Seen in the sampled frames: all four include a man in a long coat with a crystal set on his chest. In each it is a dark crystal that glows violet or blue-violet in at least one sampled frame. The settings differ (a ledge, a cracked arena, a cavern and a coin-hoard chamber) and each pairs the man with a different large or odd counterpart (a hand-drawn picture, a pointed-ear creature, a giant, a red-scaled creature).

Caution: the sampled frames do not show whether the prompts named the crystal; this describes the sampled frames only.

Reading: a single recurring prop gave four different scenes a common visual anchor in these single runs (no seed set).

These are retrospective observations of founder tests, not a benchmark or product validation. Audio was not listened to.
