;Kaladin
Kaladin lies in Bridge Four's barrack, suffering fever from the wounds he got being strung up in the highstorm. Most of the time he's unconscious. In his rare lucid moments he sees [[deathspren]], and Syl, a little-bittysmall figure of pure white light holding a sword made of light. She fights the deathspren with her sword and her light wardedwards them off. ButKaladin theyjust grow more and more.

;Teft
While Teft wavers about his actions in his past and why this happens now and around him, he decides to give more Stormlight to Kaladin, well dosed, so that nobody will see what he does.
Skar watches over Kaladin. They keep a guard on him at all times to keep away prying eyes and possible assassination attempts. Teft comes to relieve him to test a theory, a belief he once rejected as a child of Envisagers. He puts three diamond spheres into Kaladin's hand, then waits. When he nearly thinks that he wasn't right, Kaladin gasps, breathing in Stormlight. Teft sees Stormlight rising from Kaladin's body, knitting some of the wounds. The Stormlight is depleted quickly, but Kaladin seems more relaxed than before with more color to his skin. Teft curses Kaladin for revealing the truth to him now, in this place. He knows that Kaladin can heal, but he has to do it carefully, a little at a time, to conceal what is happening.
