;Plot Summary
{{anchor|Chapter 50}}
Navani has her scholars doing busy work as they are being watched carefully. She periodically pauses to rest against the wall and speaks to the Sibling in private. The Sibling says that Raboniel does not yet know that she is awake; the Midnight Mother had told the Fused that the Sibling had been dead for a long time, when instead they were just asleep. Navani manages to convince the Sibling that they need to work together, though the Sibling is resistant because they are not interested in becoming bonded to a human. The Sibling reveals that there are three other nodes connected to their heart, and Navani needs to find a way to protect them from being corrupted. Navani asks why the Sibling did not activate the defenses that she had, and the Sibling says that when the humans found the Unmade that kept singers from changing forms, it injured them. It caused them to lose the rhythm of Light, and the tower stopped working. The rhythm of Odium is now corrupting her. The Sibling tells her that there are two Radiants that she can detect, still awake in the tower. One is Lift, awake because Cultivation gave her the power to use Light differently, but in a cage surrounded with aluminum at the moment. The other is Kaladin, and she suspects that she can detect him because he is close to Honor and the surge of Adhesion. Navani asks the Sibling to contact him.
Kaladin and Syl are trying to get to the 6th floor where he suspects he can find stormlight. He avoids singer guards in Alethi uniforms, and Syl manages to make sure that Kaladin's family is safe. They find lanterns filled with infused gemstones left behind by workers. Kaladin manages to break into them using a "reverse lashing," the one that attracts objects to other objects. After getting the storm light, they make their way to the Devotary of Mercy on the 4th floor where he hopes to find food and water. He comes across the ardent named Kuno that he met this first time there, and Kuno provides him with various supplies, including medical equipment for Teft, and agrees to help provide supplies. As Kaladin gets ready to leave, he sees a crystal vein in the rock light, he touches it, and hears Navani's voice.
Navani and Kaladin exchange information, and she tells him that they need to figure out how the Fused are making the Oathgates work. Kaladin is going to do what he can, and they say goodbye.
