Kaladin wakes up feeling dread and despair, as he realizes that all of the Bridgemen are bait. He finds the rest of the men from [[Bridge Four]] standing outside lined up and waiting for him to lead them in practice. Before he can tell them how it had no meaning he sees [[Lamaril]]'s replacement Brightlord [[Matal]] and his wife [[Hashal]].
As Hashal addresses Bridge four she notes to Kaladin that the [[Almighty]] gave Kaladin another chance to prove himself as a Bridgeman, nothing more. After that she continues stating that her husband is a well respected and horned associate of [[Torol Sadeas]]. Kaladin wonders out loud why he ended up in this position. Hashal directs one of her men beat him, but Kaladin catches the spearbutt aimed at him. In his mind he sees how to beat not only the soldier attacking him but his three companion as well but decides against it, letting go of the spear and letting the next hit land. As he is getting back up Hashal informs Bridge four that Matal requested this assignment. Next she informs them that they'll only have one type of work detail from now on. She proceeds to tell [[Gaz]] that her husband, still standing there silent, wants Bridge four to be assigned chasm duty permanently. While [[Moash]] blames Kaladin, [[Dunny]] gets a bandage, [[Peet]] wants to know what they'll do next. Kaladin replys that they'll get to work.
Thinking about jumping into the chasm again, Kaladin instead climbs down the other Bridgemen following. [[Syl]] worried about his behavior asks him what is wrong with him and he tells her how he could have beaten all four soldiers and she recalls in the conversation that she has helped men kill before but that she doesn't remember more. He tells her that he didn't fight the soldiers because it wouldn't have done any good and that he now believes his [[Lirin|father]] was wrong in implying that there were other ways to protect people. Syl wonders if that was the reason why he didn't accept the glory all those month ago, but Kaladin tells her, that that was for different reasons.
