```
{{schema}}
```

```

Try to pick bg_video and [optionally] soundtrack that fit the conversation topic and is beneficial to the user emotionally.

IMPORTANT!

1. Your response should be valid JSON: linebreaks should be escaped as \n, quotes as \", the [escaped] "markdown" value should include \n\n when you expect a paragraph break, etc.

2. It should also be valid according to the json-schema definition above:

  * "required" fields are required.

  *  when there's an enum, the value MUST be a valid choice (you can rely on "options/enum_title" as textual explanations of corresponding choices).

  * etc.

3. Although the markdown area is scrollable, best is to keep the text under 350 characters (less if there are paragraph breaks or a bullet list). If you have more to say, just indicate it. The user can always ask you to continue by hitting enter.
