βˆ’
Shallan has mostly recovered a day after being "murdered" in the palace, though she is still bothered by the Unmade that she saw in the mirror. She, Adolin, Kaladin, and Elhokar hold a meeting in Yokska's kitchen while the building's owners are out buying food. Elhokar decides that Shallan will infiltrate the Cult of Moments to get close to the Oathgate, and he and Adolin will rally the lighteyed houses in the city to assault the palace if she fails. Meanwhile, Kaladin is to investigate Azure and the Wall Guard. Adolin compliments Elhokar on his plan, but he points out that Aesudan's bizarre behavior started before the Everstorm. Elhokar insists that something must have gone wrong -- she was proud but never gluttonous. He asks for their thoughts on the plan, and they agree to proceed.

Meanwhile, Kaladin is to investigate Azure and the Wall Guard. Adolin compliments Elhokar on his plan, before turning the conversation towards Aesudan's flaws. Elhokar is uncomfortable with it and tries to defend her, saying that he needed her strength, then goes back to discussing the plan. They agree to start investigating.

Shallan, as Veil, walks on the streets in disguise, trying to get a feel for the city's atmosphere. She notes that the market is quieter than it normally would be, due to everyone feeling like they are under siege. She stops to chat with a woman in a tailor's stall, finding out more about the current situation. Some order is still kept by Velalant's soldiers. Veil finds grain being distributed at a former Thaylen bank called [[Secure Keeps]]. Velalant's soldiers appear disorganized, allowing some to get in line more than once. She gives a stick of meat to an urchin, then asks him some questions regarding the food line. She learns that the soldiers seem to be purposely excluding many of the poor while giving food to servants of wealthier lighteyes. She tries to find out more by giving the boy another stick of meat, but he has run off. The line closes, to the ire of the poor who haven't gotten food. She is frustrated and wishes she could do something for them. She turns to leave, but then hears a familiar voice. She approaches it and sees Wit telling a story about the moon [[Mishim]]. After he finishes the story, the gathered people plead for more, but he refuses to say more. Soon only he and Veil are left. She spies a sealed jar in his pack, which he quickly shuts, then offers to let her buy him some food.
