Shallan believes the world is ending and it is her fault. She is crying. As her father tries to get her to sleep, he wipes some blood from her face and starts singing a lullaby.

In the room there are several corpses one of them being a woman in white, Shallan's mother. She didn't bleed very much, as opposed to the other corpse, a man.

Quotes
“Now go to sleep in chasms deep, with darkness all around you.
Though rock and dread may be your bed, so sleep my baby dear.
Now comes the storm, but you'll be warm, the wind will rock your basket.
The crystals fine, will glow sublime, so sleep my baby dear.
And with a song, it won't be long, you'll sleep my baby dear.”
—The lullaby Lin sings to Shallan
