TO̅MI: (<ARABIC BALLOON>)486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQAUrLYAZq
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. I don't intend to let those monsters hurt anyone but I didn't come here to resolve those issues.

TO̅MI: (BALLOON)486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9b1etfQm7

Wow, you're in the big leagues with this donation, huh?
JAADEN: (BALLOON)486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqjYQocnWF

TO̅MI: (WHISPERING BALLOON)486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbYd1YI3Ub

JAADEN: (WHISPERING BALLOON)486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaXDSFNnJk
Well, to be honest, I didn't know we were meeting with her either so it was a surprise for the both of us.

FRONT-FACING PANEL OF SHAFIRA HOLDING HER GLASS OF WATER WITH A LECTURING AND EXPLANITORY GESTURE.
SHAFIRA SARKIS: (BALLOON)486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl1dp2a2NN
The Xesyn Sapphire has a great deal of mythology behind it. Legend has it that the Deity known as Xesyn would in times of great strife find proud warriors to harbor her sapphire in her name. The Sapphire would grant them eternal life as long as it was in their possession but Xesyn, as an agent of chaos, would make others aware of the presence of the Sapphire leading to many attempting by force or subterfuge to obtain it.

Hey, Jaaden, how did your great-grandfather get ahold of the Sapphire in the first place?

From what I was always told, he snuck on a Corsair ship to free some of his fellow soldiers who had been captured, and when he left the ship he had the sapphire with him.
Panel 3.
SHAFIRA TALKS WITH HER HANDS AS SHE GIVES MORE INFORMATION.
SHAFIRA SARKIS: (BALLOON)486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YHEWmrJ9S
I know this sounds crazy but we believe he knew more about the sapphire than he ever led on. The jewel has an iron casing; iron throughout the ages has been known for its perceived connection to physical power, aggression, growth, dependence, and protection. Said to be the most human of the metals I believe that it might have been a tactile response.
Panel 4.
JAADEN LOOKS AT SHAFIRA WITH A CONFUSED EXPRESSION.
JAADEN: (BALLOON)486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhblxWP0YX
So, he used iron to hide the influence of the sapphire.
SHAFIRA SARKIS: (BALLOON)486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ETgECDvqm
That's what I think. We also have instruments now that can measure and identify what could be the cause of these possible phenomena. I'm interested in seeing what really is happening.

I can hold those things off until the police get here.
JAADEN: (WHISPERING BALLOON)486Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbpfXF5cHw
You can't fight all of them at one time!
