=== Chapter 27: Chasm Duty ===
{{epigraph|If anything I have said makes a glimmer of sense to you, I trust that you'll call them off. Or maybe you could astound me and ask them to do something productive for once.}}
Coming back from the apothecary where Kaladin sold the self-made knobweed sap, he discovers that Gaz had changed Bridge Four's work duty for this day to chasm duty.
Down in the chasms they have to look for corpses to get their equipment and whatever else can be found. Kaladin, Teft and Rock walk ahead talking. They find Dunny listening, try to make him participate, and it works. As the tension grows more easy they discover that Dunny can sing. The other crew members don't walk up.
Eventually they find a lot of corpses and begin their weird work. Kaladin picks up a spear and gets overwhelmed by his memories. Forgetting the others he spins the spear in an advanced kata, feeling in balance with himself. When finishing his kata he realizes he's down in the chasms, being gazed in amazement by the others. Kaladin plays down the issue and tells the crew to keep working.
Later Syl looks with Rock and Dunny for more corpses and they find Parshendi. So they discover that the Parshendi's armor is grown from their bodies.
Then the crew finishes their chasm duty and goes back. Kaladin muses how to get the crew together and comes up with an idea. Back at the barracks he and Rock buy a cauldron and supplies and Rock cooks an evening stew for all men of Bridge Four. One after one they join and sit around the fire, eating Rock's stew.
The next morning much more members of Kaladin's crew come up when he calls to rise.

=== Chapter 28: Decision ===
{{epigraph|For I have never been dedicated to a more important purpose, and the very pillars of the sky will shake with the results of our war here. I ask again. Support me. Do not stand aside and let disaster consume more lives. I've never begged you for something before, old friend.<br />I do so now.}}
