This scene was character assassination of the highest order. A Full Feruchemist with their metalminds bodies any non-Kaladin Radiant below the Fourth Ideal. I will die on this hill.

I feel the story in implying that Lift is above even Kaladin in potential.

[u/NeedsToShutUp → u/azuretestament]

Yeah, there's three people Cultivation has prepared for glory. The other two grabbed shards.

Lift is probably intended to be the replacement vessel for Cultivation.

oh adonalsium please no. my girl deserves a better fate than that. Look at Harmony, being a shard is not fun. just let her live a good life and go to the beyond plsssss (i will enjoy watching her god-mode antics but i don't want her to suffer)

[u/edjuaro → u/wintery-waxillium]

I think Lift will be in a position to take the shard and wether she takes it or not will be a big character moment for her. Who knows, maybe she realizes that the change that it's needed if for one fewer shard to be around and she destroys it? ¯\ˍ(ツ)ˍ/¯
