Photorealistic cinematic scene, 8K, ultra-detailed. A high-tech laboratory interior with cool teal lighting: overhead fluorescent panels cast sharp shadows; shelves lined with glass bottles and reagents; metal pipes and conduits run along the ceiling; a large curved aquarium dominates the center. Inside the tank, a mermaid with flowing auburn hair and iridescent teal-green scales floats mid-water, her expression poised and slightly aloof; coral formations, rocks, and small fish populate the tank floor. To the right, a middle-aged lab technician in a white coat and glasses stands facing the aquarium, holding an open clipboard, his posture attentive yet weary. In the far background of the aquarium, partially obscured by water distortion and floating particles, sits Poseidon in a half-turned pose toward the viewer. He’s lounging with legs crossed, his trident resting casually across his knees. In his right hand, a lit cigarette is held between his fingers, a thin trail of smoke curling upward and diffusing into the water. His expression is bored and detached, as if observing the lab technician with mild disinterest. Add subtle underwater effects: refraction distortions around Poseidon, soft lens flare from the overhead lights, tiny air bubbles drifting upward, and gentle ripples on the water surface. Texture focus: the mermaid’s scales, the lab coat’s fabric weave, Poseidon’s weathered skin and beard, the metallic sheen of the trident. Color palette: cool blues and greens contrasted by warm amber highlights from the smoke and the mermaid’s hair. Mood: surreal, slightly dystopian, with a touch of dark humor. No text, no logos.
