Synopsis

The chapter begins with a tense exchange as a character undergoes a dangerous procedure, seemingly to alleviate a curse. During this process, another character reveals the true nature of the 'curse,' explaining it's linked to being a 'Ghost-Born' and not a fire spirit as initially thought. They further explain the futile use of a Jigwi's eye in curing these scars. The chapter also suggests a past connection to a figure named Xerxes, adding another layer to the lore.
