Wanting answers, he told Kaladin he better survive and the men rushed to cut him down. To maintain their cover of working in the chasms, he assigned Lopen, Rock, Dabbid, and Shen to do the actual salvage work with Syls assistance. With the deal made, Dalinar walked up to a shocked Kaladin and instructed him to gather the men he left behind and go to his warcamp. Kaladin then intimidated and bribed the man into giving him the position along with the autonomy to run Bridge Four. Because of the hightstorm below, Kaladin's gemstones were renewed with Stormlight. The apparition of Tien convinced Kaladin to embrace the moment and accept that all people must eventually die, admitting that he chose to be used as cannon fodder to cheer up the other boys.

Kaladin countered that they are his people and that a war to exterminate one side or the other can't be the answer. He argued with Jasnah about the motives of the Voidbringers, arguing that the common Parshsmen just want a place to live. Tvlakv argued that Kaladin was young still and that he could escape his fate and hunt down the man who sold him into slavery, Highlord Amaram. Under the ruse, Teft punched Kaladin, forcing him to unconsciously use his powers to defend himself. Though she expected the question, she didnt answer him at first.

Kaladin was able to clearly see Fleet and the story being told in his head while his eyes were closed. Adolin offered a full set of Shards to Kaladin, though he declined, and instead gave them to Moash. Despite the fact that it was stocked with the best and newest inventory, Lirin felt it was useless, as the Radiants had superseded the need for surgeons. Once he passed where Syl was, she told him that there are a lot of yellow spren around and another highstorm is coming. Tvlakv walked over and asked Kaladin if he knew anything of the area. Zahel commended Kaladin for his quick thinking, but claimed it would not be enough against a Shardbearer. They fought between the laundry lines, with Zahel evading Kaladin while making use of the sheets and a bunch of colorful scarfs. Finally, Brandon decided to give the character depression to round him out. Kaladin noticed that he cracked some of Relis' shards with his kick. Kaladin barely reached the cubby as the stormwall hit. With the stems, he could create the antiseptic the men desperately needed and even sell some to get more supplies and food.

In the story, Fleet raced against a highstorm across Roshar. This works for the Order of Skybreakers, but not particularly well for others. He eventually attracted a crowd that included Teft, Rock, Dunny, and some of the other members of Bridge Four. I think the consensus for the fourth ideal is that is something along the lines of "I will protect those that I can but Iaccept that I cannot save everyone." Storm it, youre supposed to be better than the others! While Kaladin tried to sneak into the town as part of the line of refugees, some Fused had arrived. In the end Leshwi defeated Sigzil but spared his life in return for the Fused Kaladin had spared. As the carriage moved along, Kaladin spoke with Wit, who revealed he knew about Kaladin's abilities.

Instead, they did the best with what they had with Kal continuing his studies, Hesina taking on random jobs, and Tien apprenticing with Ral, a carpenter in town. Kaladin found Shen stacking bags of grain in the storage room, and Kaladin apologized for being hesitant to arm Shen. After waking for the first time in hiding, he realized he needed a way to gather supplies so he could resist the Fused and take care of Teft.
