{{epigraph|He is a good man—despite it all, he is a good man. A sacrificing man. In truth, all of his actions—all of the deaths, destructions and pains he has caused—have hurt him deeply. All of these things were, in truth, a kind of sacrifice for him.}}
'''Point of View: Elend, Sazed
Elend considers his options for dealing with Jastes' koloss army. Vin appears, injured from her fight, and tells Elend that she killed his brother Zane, which shocks him. Elend summons Sazed to provide medical care for Vin. Vin speaks of Elend's and Kelsier's capacity for trust and proposes to Elend and he accepts. Sazed performs a brief [[Larsta]] ceremony and declares them married.
Sazed mentions the Well of Ascension as a solution to their problems and advises Elend to accompany Vin to the Well to the north in the Terris mountains on the [[Derytatith]] peak. Sazed also advocates letting Straff take Luthadel to increase the odds of a peaceful transition while Elend rebels from outside the city. Sazed also thinks that the Synod would assist Elend militarily if he asked. Elend and Vin plan to leave the next day, along with Tindwyl and Spook.
Sazed watches Elend and Vin leave, thinking to himself about how he lied about the Well of Ascension to save their lives by tricking them into leaving before Luthadel falls, and wonders about how history will judge his interventionist tendencies.
