Panel 1
Jester and Fjord burst through a door way in a panic.
Jester: We're here, we're here! Are we too late!?
Panel 2
A wide shot of Veth and Yeza's bedroom. The room is filled with members of the Nein; Kingsley sits in the open window as it lets soft light spill into the room, Caduceus is sleeping on a stool, Essek is perusing the bookshelf, Veth is tucked into the bed with a bundle in her arms, Yeza beside and Caleb sitting on the end, Beau is squatting on a small rocking chair, Yasha leaning over the back.
Kingsley: Yeah. Lucky you.
Veth, weakly: Hey.
Beau: You're just in time for her to stop crying.
Panel 3
Jester carefully comes up to Veth's side
Jester: But, you're all right, right?
Veth: How could I not be?
Panel 4
Veth looks down at the bundle she's cradling- a baby halfling with little curls of black hair.
Veth: She's perfect.

Panel 1
Fjord leans against the foot board, looking visibly relieved. Caleb let's Jester take his place at the foot of the bed as she holds the baby.
Jester: Ah! Veth! She's so beautiful! Have you decided on a name yet?
Yeza: Actually we wanted to talk to you about that...
Panel 2
Veth and Yeza look at each other, somewhat nervously.
Veth: So, it's usually bad luck to name a child after someone still living-
Panel 3
Jester listens to Veth, looking a little confused.
Veth, cont: - But you have a name you don't use anymore, so...
Panel 4
A wide shot of the room, but the rest of the Nein are rendered indistinctly, putting the focus on Jester, the baby, Veth, and Yeza.
Veth: Would you let us name her Genevieve?

Panel 1
Jester stares, shocked-
Panel 2
-Then starts crying
Panel 3
Jester flops onto the thin slice of Bed beside Veth, cuddling her friend and the new baby.
Jester: Yes! yes, yes, of course you can! Aw, Veth, that really is perfect!
Panel 4
Jester wipes a tear out of her eye, smiling.
Jester: god, I'm so glad she's okay.
Panel 5
Veth looks confused.
Veth: Why wouldn't she be?

Panel 1
Flashback to earlier on the ship, Jester is receiving a sending reply from Isharnai, the hag who once cursed Veth to be a goblin.
Isharnai: Oh, and give my love to your little halfling friend. i'm so excited about the new edition to her precious family!
Panel 2
Jester looks extremely nervous. Behind her, Fjord is also clearly freaking out.
Jester: Ha ha! No reason at all!
Panel 3
Later, Luc is holding Genevieve, looking at her in confusion. Small, spiky sticks seem to be sticking out of her temples. In the corner of the panel, there is a screenshot of the description for the Hexblood feature Heir of Hags. It reads;
One way hags create more of their kind is through the creation of hexbloods. Every hexblood exhibits features suggestive of the hag whose magic inspires their powers. This includes an unusual crown, often called an eldercross or a witch’s turn. This living, garland-like part of a hexblood’s body extends from their temples and wraps behind the head, serving as a visible mark of the bargain between hag and hexblood, a debt owed, or a change to come.
Yeza: Luc! Did you put sticks in Gen's hair?
Luc: No! They just kinda... showed up?

Panel 1: Imogen and her father emerges from the barn, leading the spooked horses as the goats scatter into the yard.
Imogen:
Laudna? Where’s -- {cough} where’s Laudna?
Panel 2: Laudna is surrounded by the mob, struggling to break free and reaching out for Imogen as she is dragged towards the tree.
Laudna:
Imogen!
Panel 3: Relvin tries to hold Imogen back but she struggles out of his grasp, reaching for Laudna. Their posture mirrors Laudna and the mob’s in the previous panel.
Imogen:
Laudna!
Relvin:
Let her go, Imogen. They got what they came for. I don’t want to lose you, too. I’m sorry. I know she means somethin’ to you, but if we let ‘em take her, they’ll leave you alone.
Imogen:
Like hell they will! If they’re takin’ her, they’re takin’ me, too.
Panel 4: (view from behind of her arm so we get a good look at the markings, with the mob in the distance ahead) As she advances towards the mob, the skin on the back of her hand splits and purple-white light pours from the cracks, etching out the shape of a lightning strike. They halt and begin backing away.
Imogen:
Leave.
Panel 5: Imogen’s hair begins to drift up from her shoulders and her eyes blaze with white light. Lightning splits the sky in warning.
Imogen:
Her.
Panel 6: Overhead shot. As she screams, a shockwave erupts around her, knocking everyone else to the ground.
Imogen:
ALONE!!
