A vast terminal chamber housing a towering clockwork vault with spinning combination wheels. A man with a torn shirt and steam-burned arm stands before the golden face of the machine. Wide cinematic shot from a low angle. Warm golden hour light floods the room from upper galleries. Rich amber and cream color palette.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Elias: A man in his late 40s with a gaunt, hollow-cheeked face and intense, darting watchmaker's eyes. He has messy, sweat-matted dark hair and a thin frame. He wears a white dress shirt soaked with sweat and grime, with bright red suspenders stretched over his shoulders. His hands are calloused and stained with dark machine grease. He carries an air of frantic intelligence and physical exhaustion. The background is a dark, industrial Victorian setting with flickering amber lights. The style is detailed with high contrast between deep shadows and golden highlights.
