Cyril's brush with death is closer than it's ever been. Cyril has been a necromancer all his life. He doesn't know who he is without his ability, so when he hits his head and he's unable to reanimate people, he panics. What's he supposed to do if he can't be a necromancer? How is he supposed to help people? Then a friend of his dies. Vale doesn't know how to help Cyril. He's not surprised when Cyril agrees to help find out what happened to his friend, even though he can't use his ability as a necromancer to do so. It makes things more complicated, but it doesn't mean they can't investigate—and investigate they do, because Cyril would do anything for his friends. Will Cyril get his ability back? Vale doesn't know, but either way, he's not going anywhere, no matter how much trouble Cyril manages to get himself into.
