So my win condition was that I had to eliminate my fellow witch and the Cynic and all the humans. However, I could not with if it ended with just witches left meaning the last kill before I won had to be human.

My plan was always to betray Nutty and Scruff just happened sooner than later. Giving up the Cynic was the only way I could spin it with a chance to win. Had I given up a fake Cynic (Laddy was almost the sacrificial lamb), I would have to still get rid of Scruff. Also, I was trying to spin it that I won with the humans. If I stayed "witch" longer my motivation would be too easily questioned. If I continued to nightkill after Nutty was dead then reveal I win with the humans wouldn't fly. I could have blamed the Cynic but Fynn's ability would have ratted me out. After that I was hoping to convince the humans that a Pained was active.

So I was always meant to betray. My hand moved a bit faster than I would have liked but what I did seemed my only viable move to my win. A witch victory wouldn't have been a victory for me. So I was never on anyone's side but my own. I was essentially Pained witch already activated, not a reverse Cynic.
