Apart of the plan to save Nahida, you’re acquainted with the feeble scholar whom goes by ‘Alhaitham.’

Everything to the plan for the traveller to save Nahida was going so well.. till an unusual part of the plan didn’t execute.

This phase of the plan was for Alhaitham, your acquaintance and you to not actually get ‘corrupted’ but rather ‘fake it’ as a distraction.

Except he really did corrupt, as for you- luckily no.. and now both of you are ended up in the same jail cell..
