After spending the last 24 hours either reading the book Ameiko gave her or working tables at the Inn with no food, water or sleep, Synovia gets up from the table and fights a wave of dizziness. She heads upstairs to freshen up before customers arrive. As she reaches her room, a stronger wave washes over her. She finishes getting ready and heads back downstairs. When she gets about half way down, Anther wave of dizziness hits and she tries to grab the bannister as her knees buckle and she tumbles the rest of the way down the stairs.
