'''[[Shallan]]'''
Shallan is sketching, while in a hospital and on suicide watch. She is growing accustomed to the creatures with the symbolheads, who have been lurking in her drawings. She has her safepouch now buttoned in her hospital robe and notes that it wasn't searched. She notes how similar her current situation is to her time back home on her fathers estate, having every need seen to but being unable to leave. Thinking how she doesn't want to go back to that, but won't be able to go back to studying with [[Jasnah]], since she can't pass up the opportunity of her fake suicide, to leave, she considers to use the time on her trip home to learn how to use the [[Soulcaster]]. She finishes her picture of the place she went to when she soulcast and considers that the Symbolheads have something to do with Soulcasting.
Just than King [[Taravangian]] enters and makes his rounds including her. They have a short chat about the hospital and Shallan's accident and how she wants to leave for home. Shallan asks if she can have visitors and the Kings agrees to talk to the ardents. Right there after Jasnah enters. Jasnah tries to apologize and the two have a short discussion how Jasnah is not very good at it because she has so little practice. Jasnah than gifts Shallan with “Book of Endless Pages” and explains the metaphor behind it. They continue to talk about faith, truth, good men and fools, when [[Kabsal]] enters with a basket with bread and jam. After diffusing a jibe from Jasnah, Shallan id offered Strawberry jam, which she has never heard of. Jasnah takes a finger to sniff it and notes that it comes form [[Shinovar]]. When Kabsal remarks how he was under the impression that she disliked jam she says that she was just interested in the smell. Shallan than insists that Jasnah should try some bread with them and get her way after a moment. After eating the bread Kabsal becomes very insistent that Shallan should try the jam. When it turns out to have gone bad he still takes a big glob of it and tries to get Shallan to eat some to when she continues refuses he tries to run away but collapses halfway out of the room. When Shallan rushes toward him she also collapses. Jasnah shouts that Shallan has been poisoned and that she needs a garnet. She informs Shallan that she will have to soulcast Shallans blood, realizing that Jasnah can't soulcast without the real Soulcaster Shallan upends her safepouch revealing the real one. She feels a flash of heat through her insides before all goes black.
