  3. A man in period clothing stands in the centre of a gothic laboratory, looking up at towering brass and copper structure. The atmospheric scene features a large cylindrical apparatus with red lighting on the left, ornate scientific instruments, and stone walls decorated with carved faces and mysterious symbols. Steam or smoke fills the air, and the cobblestone floor and arched ceiling create a dungeon-like atmosphere.
