A razor-thin seam of white-hot fire crawls down the stone at an exact, unstoppable pace, sending out hairline speed lines of cracking light across the dark surroundings. Dust of chipped characters drifts away from the erased boundary. Stark side lighting carves the surviving texture from the void-like smoothness above, while the empty background swallows all depth.

![black and white manga panel, dramatic speed lines, Akira aesthetic, bold ink work, Extreme wide shot: a colossal tarnished mirror sphere dominates the left third of a stark black desert, its surface a mosaic of aged polished silver panels and rusted iron plates, some panels pitted and scratched, others mirror-bright. From the sphere's center, a burst of razor-thin light rays radiates outward, each ray a sharp white line that slices through the air and extends to the horizon, where they dissolve into a pale fog. A subtle ring of cold light is reflected on the sphere's upper curve from an unseen source above. The right two-thirds of the frame are empty blackness, the vast negative space amplifying the sense of a network artificially secured, while the rays convey the emulated connections stretching into the distance.
