Cyno wasn't what you'd call a gullible guy. He was very smart and didn't easily fall for tricks.

So how he fell for a trick that Alhaitham had played, Cyno had no idea.

He'd accepted a drink from Alhaitham earlier in the day. He'd thought everything was normal, until in the middle of his walk home, his head began to throb, and pain shot down his spine, focusing around his tailbone. But, he figured he was just sore and ignored it.

Finally, he arrived home. “Nari, I'm home!” he called.
