As Venli assisted Raboniel one day, Raboniel asked her if she hated herself for bringing about the destruction of her people; Timbre warned her to lie, but Venli admitted that she did hate herself. Timbre tried to reassure her as she talked about what she had done, but Venli once again refused the comfort. At the end of their conversation, Raboniel gave Venli a map with a notation from a human scout who had observed a large group of Parshendi in the [[Shattered Plains]].{{book ref|sa4|92}} Rlain, looking for Venli to tell her that Kaladin, Lift, [[Teft]], and he had a plan, discovered Venli later on while she was still crying and astonished at the news that her people might have survived. Timbre prompted Venli to tell Rlain theher whole story, and she did so without holding back any of her culpability.{{book ref|sa4|96}}
 
Having decided to abandon the Radiants and escape with her own group of people using Raboniel's writ, Venli alerted her people.{{book ref|sa4|96}} As they stood at the [[Oathgate]] waiting for transfer to [[Kholinar]], however, Timbre conveyed to Venli that she was disappointed in her. Venli thoughtargued that she couldn't be of any help to them, but Timbre assured her that she was learning to use her powers. Venli suggested that Timbre find a singer who cared more than she did, but Timbre firmly stated that she wanted Venli, that Venli was a "wonderful mistake." The more Venli complained, the more insistent Timbre feltbecame that their bond was right and that Venli would do what was right.{{book ref|sa4|102}}
 
When Venli realized that no one was able to operate the Oathgates because [[Vyre]] had left with his [[Honorblade]], Timbre got very excited. She told Venli that this was an opportunity to help the Radiants and continued to push her to act despite Venli's complaints that she was no real Radiant. Venli wondered if she would be able to use the writ to get Kaladin and his family to safety, but Timbre was unconvinced that that was a viable tactic.{{book ref|sa4|102}} Inside the tower, they found the atrium crowded with people watching Kaladin fight the [[Pursuer]]. Timbre continued to push Venli to help, but she didn't see a real way to do so.{{book ref|sa4|104}}
Seeing Kaladin kneel over Teft's body, broken with grief, Venli realized she had never felt that depth of emotion over her own loved ones. Timbre comforted her again and prompted her again to reveal to Leshwi what she was, but Venli still couldn't do it.{{book ref|sa4|106}} As soon as Kaladin left to chase after his father, however, the Pursuer's soldiers made towards the Radiant infirmary to kill the unconscious Radiants. The people of Urithiru fought against them, but Venli noticed that Leshwi's troops stayed out of the conflict. Once more prompted by Timbre, this time Venli drank in some Stormlight and revealed to Leshwi their bond.{{book ref|sa4|107}} Leshwi asked, through Venli, if Timbre knew of an [[honorspren]] called [[Riah]], but Timbre admitted she didn't know very many of that kind.{{book ref|sa4|109}} As Leshwi, Rlain, and Venli planned a last escape attempt, Rlain asked if there were any others like Timbre that wanted to bond singers. Timbre conveyed that although there were some others, Rlain was already [[Tumi|spoken for]].{{book ref|sa4|111}}
 
Later, Venli reunited with her [[Jaxlim|mother]], and Timbre joined her in rejoicing. As Venli explained to [[Thude]] that she would help restore the relationship between her people and the spren, her words were finally accepted, bringing her and Timbre's bond to the Second Ideal.{{book ref|sa4|115}}
