Veil is gaining a reputation as a "Swiftspren". A spren robbing the rich and giving the food to the poor. She enhances this reputation by sending Ishnah and Vathah, wearing illusions, to look like Veil. After checking in on Grund and Muri, she notices a Cult of Moments procession, creates a Spren illusion shaped like the one she saw on the Winds Pleasure, but gets caught up in the pleasure and nearly loses herself to the Unmade's "darkness". She breaks free and, under the illusion of a Spren, disperses the parade. Shaken, she realizes she wants to be a hero too much and it stops her from being logical like Jasnah.
 
Shallan finds her personalities conflicting: Brightness Radiant and Veil. She finds ElkoharElhokar in a tavern who also suffers from an identity crisis: wanting to be a hero. Shallan sketches an image of what ElkoharElhokar could be, noble and regal, which nearly brings him to tears. As she goes upstairs, Ishnah hands her a note securing her access to a feast at the palace.

;Plot Summary
 
Kaladin rushes to an underground bar before the Everstorm hits. He meets with Shallan and Adolin to share information. Adolin shares that ElkoharElhokar is doing better than expected at convincing lighteyes to join him. Kaladin states he thinks Captain Azure might be a Knight Radiant. They definitely have a soulcaster and seized emerald stones in the city. Judging the state of Kaladin's issued sword, Adolin is impressed by her. Shallan found information on the Unmade and believes there are two in they city: Sja-anat, the Taker of Secrets and Ashertmarn, the Heart of Revel. The former corrupting spren and the latter leads people to indulge in excess. Shallan plans to infiltrate the palace that night and they all realize their dire situation as the city's fall is inevitable without the Oathgate open.
 
Shallan and Adolin leave though Shallan loves Adolin, her alter ego, Veil, still prefers Kaladin. Shallan shares her sketches with Adolin and impresses him with her artistic talent, but pulls away early from Adolin who questions who she becomes when she leaves him. Her answer, "Everyone". Shallan changes into Veil and meets Vathah to go over the details of their food heist. The bar keep bursts into their room trying to eavesdrop and Vathah unconsciously disguises himself with Stormlight. After the bar keep is dismissed, and he realizes what he has done and what he might be, he is brought to the verge of tears.
