As Dalinar approached the red mist that was the Thrill he stopped and peered into the mists. He saw familiar images of things he and people he had killed in the past. He was able to hear the Thrill's warming pulses, like the beats of a drum. Dalinar
The Thrill recognized Dalinar and was happy to see him. As he walked through the mist he saw times when the Thrill had been with him and times when it had withdrew. He realized that the Thrill had no actual intent, let alone a malevolent one. He saw that the Thrill was simply the primal desire and urge to fight. The Thrill returned all of the memories of himself that Dalinar hated. He realized that while once he had gone to the Nightwatcher to forget what he had done, he no longer wanted to lose those memories. He told the Thrill that he welcomed it and that he accepted who he had been. As his vision became tinged with red Dalinar thanked the Thrill for giving him strength when he needed it. As he watched himself walk towards Rathalas on his way to burn the city, Dalinar told the Thrill that he ''understood'' it.{{book ref|sa3|
After a while drifting in the Thrill's embrace Lift arrived and delivered the King's Drop to him. Lift asked him why heeded the stone, and Dalinar remembered what Taravangian had told him about how fabrials were made, by giving a spren what it wants and is familiar with to lure it into a gemstone. He told Lift that Shallan had scared [[Re-Shephir]] causing it to flee, but he said that the Thrill was not intelligent enough for that and could only be defeated by someone who ''understood'' it very well. Dalinar lifted the gemstone and embraced the Thrill for the last time. Dalinar thanked the Thrill for giving him strength when he needed it, and as the Thrill snuggled closely with him, he told it that it was time for it to take a rest. After the Unmade was successfully trapped in the gemstone the red mist faded away causing Amaram's soldiers to stop mid-charge and lie retching on the ground having suddenly had the Thrill removed from within them. The sky then cleared as the Everstorm departed while the Fused and Singers sailed away in their boats. The battle had been won.{{book ref|sa3|120}}
