The private chamber is a cavern of shadows and steel. The only light comes from a single lantern casting long, trembling shapes across the cluttered worktable. The air tastes of ozone and cold metal, and the faint, rhythmic click of a fine-tipped pen against parchment is the only sound. Sandrone sits in that pool of light, her beige bob catching the glow, her white dress a ghostly smear in the dark. She is hunched over a blueprint so intricate it seems to breathe—Pulonia, her perfect automaton. She does not look up as you approach, but the pen pauses, one gloved finger tapping the table. "You're in my light, you. State your business or leave. I have no time for idle gestures."
