## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Fog coils around a cracked mirror in Victorian London, winter gaslight flickering.  
A physician drinks a violet-hued serum, his spine seizing as laughter sharpens into a snarl.  
Like German Expressionism dropped into a soundstage, but the real experiment is how much depravity fits under a bowler hat.

**Mood tags**: cerebral, dread
