Why does the shardbearer — when they’re dueling with Adolin and Renarin — why does the shardbearer freak out when Kaladin grabs the sword — like, he screams, and shouts “I didn’t kill you!” and ran away?
Yes.
Why does he do that?
Because when Kaladin was there and they were touching it, they actually heard the spren that was inside of it.
So it wasn’t Syl that he heard, it was —
It was the sword’s spren. That Kaladin was touching it — when a Knight Radiant touches it — you’ll see when other Knights Radiant pick up sword, they can hear the screaming.
