An anime character in black tactical gear runs down a futuristic escalator, leaving a bright blue energy trail. Blurred civilians are in the background.

Panel 1 (Small Top-Left Inset - Establishes Action): Description: A slightly blurred, high-angle shot looking down a futuristic, sleek escalator in a crowded transit hub. Saber, in her form-fitting Echelon tactical gear, is running at incredible speed down the escalator steps, a subtle, glowing energy trail behind her boots. She's expertly weaving through surprised but unharmed civilians, who are mostly blurred. Her face is visible, a grimace of intense concentration. Perspective: High-angle, slightly blurred motion. Color/Lighting: Bright, clean transit hub lighting, but with a sense of urgent motion. Panel 2 (Small Top-Right Inset - Focus on Power): Description: CLOSE-UP on Saber's glowing boots (still in motion). Her feet are barely skimming the escalator steps, creating tiny, electric-blue sparks.

Color/Lighting: Strong blue glow around her feet, emphasizing the power. Panel 3 (Mid-Left Panel - Escalation): Description: A dynamic, slightly distorted POV shot from behind Saber, looking forward as she launches off the end of the escalator into a wide-open concourse.
