Didja Notice?

 

At 13:14 on the DVD, notice that a glint of blue glow is visible through a crack between Sapphire's right eyelids while she has them closed and is concentrating on taking time back. Her blue eyes glow with a blue light when she uses most of her powers and it's interesting to note that the producers took that to heart even in the case of her eyes being mostly closed in concentration!
