In the quaint town of Willow Creek, Dr. James was determined to uncover the mystery behind Tavon's recent stroke. After two thorough examinations, James finally pinpointed the cause: poisoning. Herman glanced at the lab report, eyebrows knitted in concern. "Are you sure?"

"Absolutely," James confirmed. "It's a common toxin but one of the hardest to detect. It requires prolonged exposure in just the right dosage to cause a stroke."

"Cyanide."

"That's not something you just stumble upon. A little digging should lead us to the source."

James shook his head. "If you know even a little about it, you can extract it yourself. Apple seeds, for instance. Should I give Thomas a heads-up?"

Herman thought for a moment and then said, "You mentioned it requires long-term exposure. The dosage must be carefully controlled too, right? Too much and it would kill outright, not just cause a stroke." "Exactly, it's a delicate balance," James replied. "Someone without the know-how would likely mess it up."
