{{anchor|Chapter 41}}
Yet weak on his feet but growing stronger with each step Kaladin leaves the barrack for the first time after his judgment in the highstorm. The members of Bridge Four, doing daily bridge training, nearly stumble about one another when they see him. Moash tells him that it's only been ten days and Rock says Kaladin must have bones like granite. When the horns blow for a bridge run and Bridge Four -- on duty -- gathers, Kaladin joins them helping Lopen and Dabbid with the water. Later he watches the battle, thinking about what he did with the side carry and comes to understand what's the purpose of bridgemen: to be bait for the Parshendi because bridgemen are cheaper and don't need training and equipment.
On that evening Bridge Four give Rock a razor as a gift for him working on the stew every evening. He is very surprised and runs in the barrack, letting the others behind wavering if this gift was a good idea. Dunny takes it to serve the stew to the others. Only Sigzil doesn't join and Kaladin seeks him for a conversation, and then tells Kaladin about Marabethia and the way of judgment there. Eventually Rock comes back, shaved, happy and grateful and tells Bridge Four that he will shave everybody who wants it.
