;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.
