;Plot Summary
 
'''Wax'''
 
[[Waxillium]] calls to his sister, [[Telsin]], who is sneaking off to town, skipping out on evening recitation. She refers to him by his [[Terris]] name: Asinthew. He trails along as she meets up with three others: [[Kwashim]], [[Idashwy]], and [[Forch]], a [[Coinshot]] like Wax. They have to sneak by his [[Vwafendal|grandmother's]] office, but she has been called there for an emergency, so she probably won't be watching. They all head out through the Tin Gate into a different world. Wax learns that a constable is visiting his grandmother, and he is compelled to return and find out more, eavesdropping on the conversation as they discuss a recent arson in the [[Village]]. The constable warns that arson often covers up other crimes and that she should accept the constabulary's help. She refuses, insisting that the situation is in hand. He leaves behind a bullet, infuriating Vwafendal. She catches Wax eavesdropping, and they discuss how he has trouble fitting in in the Village. He surreptitiously grabs the bullet as he leaves.
 
Wax meditates in the evening recitation. Afterwards, he asks [[Tellingdwar]] about crime in the Village, and he tells him about a murder fifteen years back. Wax goes to bed and tries to read, but he spies some movement outside and decides to investigate. He follows a trail to an old dormitory. After he enters, Forch attacks him. Wax runs into another room where a boy is tied down and bleeding; Forch has used the escapade with the girls as an alibi. He again attacks Wax, this time Pushing nails at him. Wax tries to swallow some steel, but the pouch is Pushed away, and Forch continues to attack and wound him. Wax manages to swallow a little steel and saves himself after being dropped out a window. He realizes he still has the bullet, so he runs back upstairs and Pushes the bullet at Forch. Forch Pushes back, but Wax releases his Push on parts of the bullet, allowing it to fire and take Forch in the head. Vwafendal and others arrive, and Wax knows they will hate him for bringing violence into the Village and for being right. He decides that the Village is not for him.
 
'''Migs'''
 
:''28 years later''
 
Wax and [[Wayne]] go on a raid with the constabulary. The[[Migs]] and his gang isare no match for their combined powers. Wax heads off to his wedding with [[Steris]].

'''Wax'''
 
Wax shoots several bandits, then deactivates and Pushes overboard the "device," which was really just a case of dynamite. The giant Coinshot reappears, and Wax manages to attach Ranette's ball and cord device to him, yanking him off the train. There are still several more bandits, and Wax is unarmed. Partway through taking turns jumping off into the river, they suddenly stop moving; Marasi has them trapped in a speedslowness bubble.

'''Marasi'''
 
Marasi is enjoying the adventure of a stagecoach ride in uncivilized land. She has moved on from Wax, but still admires him. Wax tells her more about the beginning of his time in the Roughs. They discuss whether the Bands of Mourning are real. Wax goes back to sleep, so Marasi finishes her report and fiddles with the cube. She finds a tiny switch and flips it, then burns cadmium to see if anything would happen. This causes the stagecoach to lurch because it isn't massive enough for the speedslowness bubble to follow Marasi. She reports that the cube vibrated while she was burning. They decide to stop and experiment with the cube.

'''Wax'''
 
Telsin is thirsty for revenge against her captors. Wax grabs her and Pushes to the top of the ship, where he leaves her. Then he meets back up with Wayne. There's a lot of shooting going on, and Wayne throws up a speed bubble so they can plan. They see MeLaan peeking out a door and Telsin climbing down the ship. Wax sends Wayne for Telsin while he gets the other two. Wayne gets caught by gunfire, and they keep shooting him as he tries to heal. Wax goes on an Allomantic frenzy, getting hit by an aluminum bullet, but manages to rescue him. They are safe in the ship for now, but they are besieged by the heavy gunfire outside. Three Allomancers in fancy suits show up, and Wax dispatches one of them with the Thug-killer shotgun. Wax finds more enemies coming up behind him, but luckily Marasi throws up a speedslowness bubble on one guy using the cube, allowing Wax to avoid getting shot. He steps to the side, waits for the bubble to drop, then shoots him.
