The Great Escape

In a chamber of echoes where beats intertwine,
Three shadows linger, their purpose divine.
One whispers softly, with elegance concealed,
Sketching your fate on a canvas revealed.

The second, a mosaic in a rhythmic trance,
A silent architect, shaping your chance.
With each touch, a symphony rises to share,
Crafted in different layouts where brilliance lays bare.

The last glides like clouds, elusive and sly,
A phantom companion, as swift as a sigh.
With the help of photons, it guides every arc,
A dance in the dark, where precision ignites a spark.

Solve this trio, break free from the trap,
What are these vessels that will spring the latch?
Answer 1: tablet
Answer 2: keyboard
Answer 3: mouse
