Rlain admitted that he did not know. Lirin left for a moment and recognized [[Dabbid]], who told him and Rlain that Kaladin was dying.{{book ref|sa4|79}} Lirin got into an argument with Rlain because he would not promise not to give Kaladin up to the [[Fused]] after he heals him.

Hesina stopped him and told him that Kaladin is the best person to be a soldier. When he called the helpers wearing shash glyphs fools, she led him to [[Noril]], who said that he wears the shash glyph because Kaladin, unlike the [[ardent]]s, helped with his depression. Hesina then asked him to go to the people wearing shash glyphs and ask why they wear them.{{book ref|sa4|i|10}} |

Kaladin defeated the Pursuer and went for Lirin, but the Heavenly One panicked and shot off, and Kaladin followed. The Heavenly One landed on the roof, and Kaladin followed. As Kaladin advanced on the Heavenly one, she threw Lirin off the roof.{{book ref|sa4|106}}{{expand} |
