Also fascinating, of course, is the setting because we’re trying to figure out where these people are in relation to each other. I don’t want to spoil it for you, but over time the revelations will blow your mind. It is a very well-crafted story that is defined by its setting and characters–as a story ought to be. You do have to be patient though, because this story takes time to develop.

They became friends early in their training to be nightmare painters, and when the time came he led them to believe he had passed the test. Eventually they became suspicious, and uncovered that he had lied to them about being accepted. When he claimed to be training with them, he had been sitting in a library alone, doing nothing. They learned that he was never accepted in the first place, and claim the only reason Nikaro was allowed to graduate was due to the department's need for more painters. They tell Yumi that his claims about the stable nightmare are clearly false, noting how it should have attacked by now if he was telling the truth. As they walk to the place of ritual, they hear the scholars arguing in their tent.

They are deeply apologetic, expressing their shame and regret, but explain that the father machine cannot be defeated. They gave it instructions to produce energy and to protect itself, and it has used Investiture to do so.

I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. Grimshaw Griswald Grimsby may have one case under his belt, but he’s still a novice Auditor in Boston’s Department of Unorthodox Affairs. Especially during those times when he contemplated a life where he would spend his next six decades on this street every night, backlit by the hion. It smothered the city like a dome, driven back by the hion—which could also be used to make passages and corridors between cities. Only the light of the star shone through the shroud.
She then recalls the spirit told her there is someone who could help her free them, and she assumes Painter must be this help. She asks Painter to tell the attendants what has happened. As she does this, she tries to take his hand and they discover that direct contact between the two of them causes them both to feel a sharp, electric sensation.
Others see that Nikaro is having success and they do their best to support him as he paints each of the townspeople. He finishes with Hwanji, then looks out into the shroud--sensing Yumi. One structure remains at the center of Torio City--the grand exhibit hall where the father machine was unveiled seventeen hundred years ago. She finds the machine still there, thirty feet tall with hundreds of legs piling stones.
Book Review: Yumi and the Nightmare Painter by Brandon Sanderson
Painter then sees that Yumi has been wounded in some way, so he goes to her side and embraces her to share his warmth. Yumi is revived, and Tojin and Akane come to help her up. They return to the wagon without Liyun at the end of the day and Chaeyung hands Nikaro his nightgown, assuming he will want to dress himself. She bows and asks Nikaro to make sure Liyun knows that his behavior is not her fault. She explains that she was formerly an attendant of the yoki-hijo Dwookim, who was vocal in the reform movement, and fears that Liyun will assume Hwanji shared these ideas with Yumi. Painter inquires further, followed by questions from a shocked Yumi, as they learn that most of the yoki-hijo do not live as Yumi does--the truth having been kept from her by Liyun.
Yumi tries to leave the wagon to recover and also discovers that she is limited in how far apart they can be before something jerks her back toward Painter. Liyun then enters, and when Nikaro tries to explain what has happened she thinks he is lying. Yumi realizes she should have expected this, and asks Painter to play along. She gives Nikaro the right lines to say and he repeats them and follows all of her orders on the rituals of eating breakfast.
His people used different numbers, but for ease let’s call him nineteen. Lanky, dressed in an untucked buttoned grey-blue shirt and a knee-length coat, he was the type who wore his hair long enough to brush his shoulders because he thought it took less effort. In reality it takes far more, but only if you do it right. A bullet hole in the midnight sky, bleeding pale light. A community for Cosmere books by Brandon Sanderson. Sanderson crafts a fun and interesting story within the Cosmere.
Liyun explains that their machine still is not working, and admits that she has heard of the machines before, to Yumi's surprise. Yumi expresses to Painter that she is sure he has been sent because of the machine, but that they must get confirmation from the spirits. Nikaro practices for several hours, feeding lunch to himself.
