Art style: Crystal.
Inside the clock tower, enormous rusted gears the size of houses are shuddering and throwing off sparks as they slow down. Dark shadows fill the cavernous space, lit only by the occasional spark and the characters' own light. The camera is a low-angle shot looking up at the failing machinery. The palette is dominated by dark iron greys, rusty oranges, and sharp white sparks.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image in the following art style:
3D animated cinematic — characters and key elements rendered as glowing translucent crystal (faceted geometric structures, jewel-toned amethyst / sapphire / emerald / topaz palettes with tiny luminescent particles inside). Hyper-realistic material rendering: subsurface scattering, glowing internal luminescence, beautiful refractions, ray tracing, shallow depth of field. Pixar / DreamWorks-grade polish, 8k Octane / Unreal Engine 5 render quality.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
