;Plot Summary
 
Navani speaks with Kaladin, thanking him for helping to protect the tower. She reassures him that he did not fail, even though he had to break the node. He tells her that he can no longer fly, but was able to get some of the Fused spanreeds, which Syl has determined work via corrupted spren. Navani goes to check on her scholars, and thinking through her problems, realizes that the lifting glove that Tomor created might be helpful for Kaladin. She arranges for Tomor to leave it in a place where Kaladin can retrieve it. Raboniel then has Navani accompany her to watch some singers testing the shield around the crystal pillar by hacking at it with some Shardblades. Raboniel asks Navani to help her understand the shield, and Navani refuses, informing her that one of the blades had been Elhokar's, something which Raboniel had not known.
