PANEL ONE: The champion and Trevalien continue talking. CHAMPION: But if this happens every few months, shouldn't his family be used to dealing with it by now? TREVALIEN: Well, I don't think it's always happened... PANEL TWO: Close on Trevalien TREVALIEN: There are some people who unwillingly change periodically like Maiz, who take another form at certain times. Sages believe the cycle is somehow linked to the stars. PANEL THREE: Closer on Trevalien's eyes TREVALIEN: But it's not something that they do starting with their births. One day it just starts happening. The beginning of the changes seems to be triggered by the experiencing of some sort of trauma. It's my belief that his almost becoming a human sacrifice triggered it in Maiz. PANEL FOUR: The champion pleads with Trevalien CHAMPION: Well, couldn't you just traumatize him back? TREVALIEN: I... don't think it works that way.
