	At the same time, the box's presence in ''Chronicles: India'' and ''Chronicles: Russia'' does not necessarily contradict the war letter in ''Rogue'', as the events of ''Freedom Cry'' and ''Rogue'' are set in-between those of ''Chronicles: China'' and ''Chronicles: India''. This allows for the possibility that the Chinese Brotherhood really did send the box to the West Indies, and after Shay took it back from Charles Dorian, it eventually fell into the hands of William Sleeman. Indeed, the fact that the box handed to Álvaro Gramática at the end of ''Chronicles: Russia'' is labeled "SHAY'S PRECURSOR BOX" heavily suggests that Shao Jun's box seen throughout the spin-off series is Shay's box. This is because it would be a peculiar narrative choice for the game to end with Gramática receiving a different item of no relevance to the game's story, i.e. Shay's box if it is distinct, rather than Shao Jun's box.

	On 21 March 2017, ''Assassin's Creed''{{'}}s then-Head of Content [[Aymar Azaïzia]] answered in an {{wiki\|~~Reddit#IAmA_and_AMA~~\|AMA}} on Reddit that Shao Jun's box and Shay's box were the same in response to a question concerning this matter,<ref>{{Cite web\|author="AymarMtl"\|date=21 March 2017\|publisher=''{{Wiki\|Reddit}}''\|title=I am Aymar Azaizia, Head of Content for Assassin's Creed, Ask Me Anything!\|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/assassinscreed/comments/60pj33/i_am_aymar_azaizia_head_of_content_for_assassins/?limit=500\|accessdate=2 August 2017\|quote=@J_Deedubze_W: Hi Aymar! Glad your doing this AMA, it'll give us a chance to clear up a few things. My question is: Will the mystery with the box Ezio gave to Shao Jun in Embers ever be picked up on again? Is the one Shay used in Rogue that same box? Could it be the box that held the Apple that Napoleon took in Unity?There have been many fan theories going around, and I think I speak for a few of us when I say we really enjoy the mystery, but would love to have some hints towards its contents, maybe in a game, rather than book or comic, but a book or comic would still be great.

Aside from consistently describing Precursor boxes in the plural, ''The Essential Guide'' states that ''"Two confirmed Precursor Boxes exist; one is currently in possession of Álvaro Gramática, while the location of the other is unknown"''. The reference to two Precursor boxes rather than one highly suggests that Shay's box—the one given to Gramática—and Shao Jun's box are distinct. However, it stops short of explicitly describing the second box, meaning that it technically does not contradict Aymar's claim because it could be that Shao Jun's box and Shay's box are the same while the second box is merely one that has never appeared in the series. It would be odd, however, for the book to mention two boxes while intending for one of them to be one that has been absent from the entire series.

	Adding to the confusion, while Farrese also clarified that Adéwalé's box in ''Freedom Cry'' is the one that ends up in Shay's hands in ''Rogue'',<ref name="Loomer"/> they are distinct in design. While the latter bears a rectangular lid which splits in half and slides open, with even the sides of the box unraveling to expose the mechanisms within,<ref name="FiatLux"/> the former has a round lid that seems to open on hinges like a typical box. Ironically, this means that the box in ''Freedom Cry'' is actually more similar in design and appearance to the one in ''Embers''.
