A person with dark skin and afro hair, wearing glasses and a lab coat, is conducting a science experiment in a dimly lit laboratory. They are holding a test tube and a flask, with yellow liquid and smoke emanating from them. The background shows shelves filled with beakers and bottles, a large window with palm trees and a full moon outside, and a skull-shaped jar on the table.
