Lift figures the best way to find the other Radiant first is to find someone doing something "strange" in the city, so she goes to the [[Grand Indicium]], the repository for all writings in the city, and demands an investigation. At first the scribes are dismissive of her demands, but Gawx vouches for her via [[spanreed]] and commands them to do what she says. After a long day of fruitless research, an emergency is declared because of the coming [[Everstorm]]. Lift finds Darkness' minions in the Indicium and tries to tail them, but they fly away. [[Szeth]] has stayed behind and describes where they're going: it's obviously the orphanage. She thinks the old philosopher is the one they're after, so she hurries off to try to stop them.
When she arrives, the two minions are dead and the "old man" is actually an [[Dysian Aimian]], whose body is made up of specially shaped cremlings. Lift realizes that the Stump is the Radiant because she's been healing the children. She rushes into the orphanage and barely avoids being killed by Darkness, but he does mortally wound the Stump, tempting Lift to come heal her like she did for Gawx. Instead she goes to the roof and shows Darkness the Everstorm, convincing him that the [[Desolation]] has come. He flies off and Lift rushes back to heal the Stump.
Lift starts her journey back to [[Azir]]. She feels like she will be needed there.
