Both Tighnari and Cyno meet in the most unexpected possible way.
In the common bathroom of a prison!
Cyno knew that he desires Tighnari the moment his eyes fell on him.
- Where... did he go?
- I can't believe that he left just like that.
- I will...

Lisa had not woken up for over two weeks. She laid asleep in Tighnari's room and he went in occasionally to check up on her and put ointment on her wounds. Albedo had already done a through check up.
She had one fractured joint which would work all better after some physiotherapy. And all her external wounds were quite bad. But they could be healed eventually.
Just like any other day, Tighnari went inside the room with warm water and ointment.
Cyno knocked on the door.
"Nari... Can I come inside?"
"Yes..." Tighnari said and started unwrapping the old bandages on Lisa's hands to replace them with new ones.
Cyno went and sat beside him with a bit of a sad expression. "Nari... I was thinking... let's lay low for a few months. Until the baby is born..."
In reality, Tighnari's condition had become much worse than before.
His body had become weaker and his slight fevers wouldn't go away. And he was still only at 14 weeks.
Cyno was very worried about him.
Tighnari continued to wrap the bandage around Lisa's hand. "Cyno, I did all of that to save Lisa. I have no reason to go back there right now."
"That's good to hear...", Cyno replied. He held Tighnari's hair gently and tucked them behind his ears. "I can do this too you know... you should go and have more rest"
"No. I have to do this", Tighnari said. And as he said that, he paused. "Lisa's current condition is because of me. So I have to be the one to heal her."
Cyno could tell just how mentally hurt Tighnari was. But he could do nothing. Nothing but worry.
He stood up and made a sad face. One that Tighnari didn't even look at as his hands and eyes focused on tying the new bandage.
He went out of the room and outside he saw Collei standing with an unsure expression. She looked at Cyno and immediately hugged him. "Papa...will Dad not sleep tonight...?"
Cyno took a gulp. "He will... After a while he will. You go to bed Collei. Its already past midnight"
Collei finally had new own room now.
She reluctantly went inside her room.
Cyno sat down on the sofa In the dining and held his head in frustration. Even after saving Lisa and defeating that Tinali... Nothing seemed to be alright.
But more than anything, he felt the piled up anger inside of him slowly coming to surface. His heart was starting to desire bloddy wishes.
He wanted to trample on the soulless body of Tinali and shoot him down as many times as he had hurt Tighnari.
