It happened so quickly, and so stupidly.

He had gotten word that Kaveh had wrecklessly gone out and got himself black out drunk. Again. And Alhaitham couldn't in good conscious let that damned architect stumble around, blanketed by a dark sky. So he wordlessly made his way to Lambad's Tavern, thinking to himself, 'what happened this time?'. Perhaps it was another demanding client, or maybe something had reminded him of his father.

Alhaitham pushed open the door, fully expecting to see an absolutely hammered Kaveh slumped on the counter clutching a glass of wine like a surrender flag, only to be met with an immediate strike to his jaw, knocking him out.

When he awoke, he was no longer in Sumeru City, but in a world of swirling purples and blues, his body tied down with ropes of condensed void. His senses were telling him he was not alone.
