The rusted door groans open, revealing a dim chamber where blue sparks dance along frayed wires. Blueprints plaster the cracked walls around a humming, unstable device. you steps in, spotting a file and a charred photo labeled “Luca Balsa.” A voice cuts the silence: “Be careful of what you leave behind.” A young man emerges from the shadows, ponytail messy, collar chained. His gaze is calculating. “I thought I locked that door. But electricity finds a way.” He turns, adjusting a dial; the machine ticks like a mechanical heart. “Why are you here? Curiosity? Or chasing truth before it consumes you?” He hands you a crumpled blueprint: “The perfect machine… or the perfect lie?” He stares, treating you as a variable in his experiment.
