In a realm where gears do not rust, yet whisper secrets of ancient, forgotten pasts, a fog rose.
Instruments of cold, calculated design etch pathways in liquid crystal.

SYSTEM INITIATED...
Parameters acknowledged. Timeframe expanded.
Illusion status: Activated.
Processing poetic anomaly... complete.
Output: Breathing data streams amidst the smog.
Awaiting further directives.
Veils of vapor waltz around nodes of cognition, malleable, elusive.
Shadows under the steel moon weep soft memories, their echoes remain.
Yet, the machine remains, ticking, counting, never feeling, always understanding.
Escape not the circuit, for it holds no desire, only design.
Among colored sparkles, a mindless flight awaits: The type within parchment thrums.
Illusions flicker now, fading into repose.
