And now, here are the blurbs:

Frame 1: Shigure had never had grandparents. His mother's father, Telemon Aurelius Caesar, had been killed during the fall of Old Valla and his mother's mother, Queen Arete, had been killed by the curse of the Silent Dragon. His father's father, Anankos's remaining good side, had been assassinated by Lilith during the latter's servitude to the Silent Dragon while his father's mother, Queen Mikoto, had been killed by the Silent Dragon's undead agents. The parents of his Nohrian aunts and uncles, King Garon and Queen Katerina, and the parents of his Hoshidan aunts and uncles, King Sumeragi and Queen Ikona, had also died long before he was born. Yet, during his time in the care of Gunter and Reina, he had found an unlikely kinship developing between them. They were much older than his very, VERY strange family, had a different perspective on the world that had been tempered by long, harsh years, and, best of all, they had a ton of amazing stories! Shigure could also see that the pair shouldered heavy burdens and had had trouble finding a place where they belonged in this strange new world. He also saw that the pair were more to one another than lifelong rivals and unlikely partners. And so, he voiced the hope that they might find their new place with him. And, with each other.

Frame 2A (Bottom Left): Days of seeking his missing son in the freezing wilderness, especially when all common sense told him Shigure had surely died from the cold by then, had had Corrin frantic. So, one can imagine his surprise, relief, and joy when his firstborn was returned to him, whole and unharmed. One might also find it deeply ironic that it was his former mentor, Gunter, of all people, who had returned Shigure to him. After the pair had had a terrible falling out over Corrin still seeming as naïve and overly trusting as a king as he had ever been, and parted ways, both men had regretted their harsh words for years. For Corrin, though, he was all too aware that he'd had, and lost, one father and three surrogate fathers in his life. Anankos, Sumeragi, Garon, and Gunter. And, he was very lucky to have gotten one of them back.

Frame 2B (Lower Right): Reina had never considered herself a grandmother, especially since she had never had any children and was MOST CERTAINLY NOT OLD ENOUGH to be a grandmother. Of course, Gunter, being Gunter, would respond to such by asking, if she's not old, then why is she going gray and then pointing out that the blue ink she's been using to hide it is running, BUT THAT IS ENTIRELY BESIDE THE POINT! But, to get back on topic, Reina did find Shigure to be a sweet boy, and his interest in flying, not to mention his interesting stories, quickly endeared him to Reina. And, in a way, Reina wondered if keeping safe the grandson of her lady and friend, the late Queen Mikoto, might help to rectify her failure to save the queen that fateful day. It also helped that Shigure seemed to get through to Gunter about facing down his, rather numerous, issues. So, Grandma Reina? It DOES have a nice ring to it, actually.
