Dual-Subject Coherence & Spatial Interaction: Overcoming Token Bleed in Multi-Character Prompts
How to prompt couples, duos, and interacting subjects without identity cross-contamination, limb merging, or gender token bleeding.
1. The Science of Token Bleeding
When prompting two distinct subjects in a single text string (e.g. a man and a woman, or two individuals of differing ages), standard cross-attention layers frequently conflate attributes, producing merged facial features or hybrid anatomy. To maintain crisp identity isolation, enforce strong anchor weighting and explicit interaction constraints.

2. Critical Negative Anchoring
Prevent single-person fallback by inserting heavy solo suppression: ((solo, single person, one person, alone:1.8)), extra limbs, extra heads, deformed bodies, conjoined twins.
