Adolin is being tutored by an inkspren ambassador to the honorspren. She tells him that his trial is set for 3 days from then, and that they should motion for a trial by witnesses, though it opens him up to self-incrimination. Adolin is certain that this will be necessary to appeal to their honor. Blended tells him that because the honorspren define what honor means to them, they believe that what they do must be honorable. Adolin realizes that this is how they are able to avoid being convinced using his arguments against their honor. They leave to find the high judge who Blended says is arriving. Adolin sees him and learns that he is human.
 
Veil is stunned by the appearance of the high judge. She asks one of the honorspren why she had been told that the high judge was a spren, and she tells him that it is Kelek, and because he is a heraldHerald and immortal, he's close enough to being a spren that his command to them to keep his identity a secret was good enough for them. Veil realizes that Mraize may have sent them to kill a herald.

Radiant is yelling at Mraize through the cube because he hadn't told them who Restares really is. Veil takes over and tells Mraize that they no longer have an incentive to work with him. Mraize’s hiding of this information suggests that they may not be able to trust what Mraize has told them. Mraize has Veil open the cube and pull out a metal dagger with a gemstone that he tells her to use on Kelek to capture his soul. He explains that the leader of the ghostbloodsGhostbloods has a similar condition to Kelek and needs to learn more about Kelek in order to avoid his fate. He nearly convinces Veil that Kelek is dangerous and that he must be locked away, and that Shallan can impersonate him in order to rule in their favor. He tells her that if she does this, she would become a full ghostbloodGhostblood.
 
Adolin goes to speak to Kelek and tells him why he is there. Kelek is astounded that they would let him in and thinks that his cause is doomed. Adolin stands by his decision and asks for a trial by witness, and Kelek grants it, saying that it won't matter anyway.
