;Plot Sumary
:''Three and a half years ago''
Shallan and her family are attending the [[Middlefest]] Fair on her father's estates, which draws people from hamlets and villages all around. She sees a Shin merchant's show [[chicken]], and thinks it bizarre. She follows her father to their box at the dueling arena, where they are soon approached by Brightlord [[Revilar]]. Revilar tries to force her father into an unfavorable business deal, noting his popularity with [[Valam|Highprince Valam]] and House Davar's declining status. Eventually her father bows his head and they send Shallan away.
Shallan hurries away. She is excited to see the fair unchaperoned but forces herself to do work first. After finding [[Eylita Tavinar]], who gives her a note, she sets off to find brother [[Balat]]. While searching she thinks of her mother and her mind goes blank. [[Jix]], one of her house's guards, eventually finds her agrees to accompany her. Balat is at the [[Axehound]] fights in the gambling pavilion, watching intensely, fixated on the animals killing each other. Shallan gives him the note, and he's surprised and excited by the meeting she's arranged. After he leaves, shallan sits on a rock, relieved to be out of the pavilion and happy she was able to help Balat, even in a small way.
When she returns to her father's box, he's in a meeting with a man she doesn't recognize. The man, dressed in black, seems startled when he sees Shallan and almost drops his glass. Malise tells her that the man claims to have brought word from her brother Helaran. When asked what news the man brought, her father commands her not to speak her brothers name and declares Helaran disinherited.
Shallan leaves and seeks out their carriage. [[Wikim]] is within, depressed and despondent. He asks whether their father sent her, or whether she came on one of her missions of mercy. He tells her that she can't fix them. Feeling like a fool, she gives him the gift of math problems she had prepared, then hastens away the carriage fighting back tears.
Sitting on a rock and trying to compose herself, the messenger in black starts talking with her. The man, unbeknownst to Shallan, is [[Wit]]. He tells her that the message that Helaran sent her father is that he "has eyes nearby, and is watching." Wit then asks her if spren talk to her, which causes her to think about "twisted symbols the eye should not see" and "her mother's soul in a box". She tells him that of course they don't and that she should be returning to her father. Wit tells Shallan that Helaran was right, her father is destroying their family, but wrong about everything else. He points out that Wikim is engrossed in the math questions that she had given him.
;Notable
*Wit and Helaran have at least a passing acquaintance.
*At the meeting with Lin Davar, Wit dumps a pouch of powder into his own cup and drinks it. It's possible that this could be [[Allomantic]] metals.
