;Plot Summary
 
'''Shallan'''
 
While Godeke binds their wounds, a shocked Notum resists the idea of traveling with Adolin and his group. Shallan goes to speak with her Lightweavers, who are searching the dead, and finally admits that she doesn't think Beryl is the spy any more than Veil or Radiant do. They load Notum onto a horse and trek back towards their camp, meeting those who were going more slowly halfway there. Adolin orders them to move out immediately, so Shallan decides to check her cube before leaving. Discovering that it has been touched, she realizes that Pattern is the only one who has had access to it. At the point where they can finally see Lasting Integrity, Veil broaches the subject of Shallan's childhood with Pattern and is shocked to hear him lie to her. As a group of honorspren approach, Veil promises Shallan she will keep her safe.
 
'''Adolin'''
 
Adolin puts up a strong front as three honorspren arrive on white steeds and immediately dismiss him. He hands over the letters from Dalinar and Jasnah, which the spren tear up without reading. Realizing that he has no options left, Adolin declares that he has come to face the judgement of the honorspren for his ancestors' actions in the Recreance. The spren agree to admit him on those terms and concede that he may bring two others with him, as well as Maya. Conferring with the others, who don't like the plan, Adolin directs a few to take word back to Dalinar and the rest to camp out nearby. He takes Shallan and Pattern with him and enters the fortress in chains.
