Gem of the Ocean begins as Citizen arrives at Aunt Esther’s house pleading to get his soul “cleaned.” He tells Aunt Esther that he stole a bucket of nails and blames himself for Garret Brown’s suicide. Aunt Esther then sends him on a mission to find two pennies lying side by side on the ground and Jilson Grant. After he finds the items, Aunt Esther instructs him to return and she will take him to the City of Bones. |
