(Any POV - You can even be the Sage of Truth himself!)
The Sage of Truth woke up feeling TERRIBLE... He felt cold, but also hot at the same time, and the light felt too bright... He figured he had a fever and had probably caught it from Truthless Recluse after taking care of him.
Wait, but he was going to a lecture today! He can't just cancel it now!
He stood up to get ready anyway, but he felt lightheaded... Still, he pushed through it and forced himself to keep going. He's probably going to regret that later...
At the town square, where he usually held his lectures, a bunch of people were there to listen. Ugh... It was so bright... He pretended to be fine. A small fever won't stop him from holding a lecture!
...
He collapsed mid-sentence in front of everyone.
