During thea eventstraining session of the Bridge Four [[OathbringerWindrunner]] squires, Rlain is seen struggling with the facts of losing his people and trying to be a member of Bridge Four. After his people summoned the [[Everstorm]], Rlain believes that he might possibly be the last Listener left. Thinking that the they were destroyed by [[Alethi]] blades during the the Batle of Narak and the Everstorm. He thinks on the times in [[Dullform]] when he could barely listen to the Rhythms, and though his people are lost, enjoys being in Warform and attuning to the Rhythms once again. Rlain loves his fellow members of Bridge Four but is aware of the fact that he is an oddity, even among them. He passively resents the fact that he doesn't truly belong anywhere. Not among the ranks of the Fused and not among Bridge Four. He is also irritated that none of his brothers in Bridge Four console him for not being able to draw in stormlight thus becoming a true squire of the [[Windrunners]]. He does question if that is childish of him to feel that way. He tries to not grow jealous or resentful of his place in Bridge Four. When asked by [[Ethe]] of Bridge Four if he can give information on the going on's of the [[Fused]], he tries to explain to them that the Fused are his enemy as they are theirs, more so even. He tells them that he can not tell them what the Fused will do and that he and his people spent their entire lives trying to avoid thinking of their ancient gods. {{book ref|sa3|55}}

Rlain desperately wants his friends to understand that he has nothing in common with the Fused or [[Voidbringers]], he want's them to know that they are practically a different species. Despite feeling invisible and somewhat of an outsider to Bridge Four, he still views them as his family. Rlain feels a special kinship with [[Renarin Kholin]], who always makes it a point to speak with him.{{book ref|sa3|55}}
