How this image was made

Generated with Nano Banana from this prompt:

A wide 16:9 cinematic image of a red-brick St. Louis neighbourhood grown into a cyberpunk megacity at night: brick row houses stacked into dense towers, holograms and haze in magenta and cyan, the streets mostly dry and busy with warm-lit cafés and market stalls stretching toward the left and right edges. In the middle third of the frame, directly over one spot on the pavement, hangs a single small, dark rain cloud, the only one in the whole sky, a soft heavy grey shape that keeps the centre of the picture dark and calm. Rain falls from it in a narrow column onto a small anonymous figure at the bottom of the frame, seen from behind, hood up, shoulders hunched. Just one step ahead of them the rain stops and the pavement is dry, glowing with the warm reflections of the busy street, and the figure's foot is already lifted to take that step. Photorealistic, finely detailed, rain streaks only in the column, reflections in puddles, anamorphic lens, low viewpoint. No text, letters, signage or typography anywhere in the image.
