![black and white manga panel, dramatic speed lines, Akira aesthetic, bold ink work, An immense brass turret holding dozens of polished lens discs, one lens locked into a narrow steel aperture and blazing under a concentrated beam of light, while all other lenses sit clamped in greased iron cradles around the rim, some tilted halfway out, others hanging from heavy chains into the dark. Hard white light slashes from the upper left through the aperture and the active lens, sending speed-line rays radiating across the black air; the rest of the turret is a monumental block of shadow with faint gleams on oiled gears, worn brass, and riveted supports. Extreme dramatic wide shot, towering vertical scale, high-contrast chiaroscuro, and cavernous empty space above and below the mechanism.
