![black and white manga panel, dramatic speed lines, Akira aesthetic, bold ink work, A colossal cable anchorage block of pitted concrete and rusted steel, planted on a jagged rock outcrop in a black, motionless sea. Dozens of dark, timeworn steel cables fan out from its left flank and vanish into the surrounding gloom. From its right flank, one thick cable of polished transparent crystal juts out, glowing with a pale blue-white internal light and spraying faint radial glints across the water. The block is caught by a single sharp spotlight from behind, producing a dramatic dark outline and throwing long, needle-like shadows across the bay. Wide establishing shot, low angle, with the anchorage looming against an empty night sky; serene water reflects the crystal light like a narrow path.
