((¡¡¡ARCANUM SPOILERS IN THIS ALT TEXT!!!))
A digitally-illustrated comic depicting Loghaire, Virgil, and Magnus in the Wheel Clan's Dredge.
Loghaire's dialogue says, "This fear, unfortunately, clouds their judgment, deadens their sense of right and wrong. Humans act first, think later, and feel last of all..." as scenes of Virgil's shady past are depicted in the middle panels (his gambling habit, discovering Lawrence's body, meeting Elder Joachim). In the final panel, while Virgil doesn't vocalize his thoughts to Loghaire's dialogue, Magnus notices Virgil's silent reaction.
