Fractured Evidence
A third investigator adjusts his pince-nez to study fracture patterns resembling frost on a coffin window, hinting at industrial betrayal. Nearby, a draftsman meticulously documents the scene on vellum, capturing the warped contours of steel plates compromised by rushed foundry pours. The investigators’ kid-gloved leader traces a spiderwebbed rivet head, further evidencing midnight cover-ups. Supported by light and weather elements directing visual focus, this scene unfolds amidst weak winter light and the lingering smell of cordite.
