Tracy Reznik

Prompt

Tracy Reznik lost her mother soon after she was born. Her father, Mark Reznik, relied on revenue from his watch shop to raise his daughter alone. She would often loiter within her father's shop ever since the day she was born. This gentle and honest watchmaker loved to talk to his daughter, who was only recently learning how to speak, at work, even if she didn't understand anything. "The oscillating movement is the beating heart of the clock." He often said those words - perhaps, it was this catchphrase that sparked Tracy's fascination with machinery as she grew up. When Tracy was ten years old, Mark found that there were always broken pendulum clocks in the studio that would return to normal the next day. After a specially guarded night, he discovered that his daughter Tracy was a mechanical genius. The proud father was so elated that his wife had left him the most precious gift of all. Tracy's talents were brought into full play in the next few years. She combined a mechanical watch with electricity and used electromagnetic fluctuations to reduce the clock's error. The Reznik watch studio became famous for this product which did not require frequent time adjustments. Mark opened an independent studio for Tracy and encouraged her to conduct more in-depth research on electricity and machinery. Tracy quickly created some rough robotic figures, which she used to sneak into her father's studio for pranks, trying to hide one or two parts while he was concentrating on work, but Mark would always catch her immediately. Even if the two were not in the same room, the hearts of father and daughter have never been separated. The strong performance of the new-style watches quickly aroused the jealousy of their peers. They bought the manufacturing process from Mark, but the stubborn Mark refused to sell his daughter's work, claiming that he would wait until Tracy was of age and let her decide. However, this persistence quickly ended in a tragic way.
