So near the end of Oathbringer, Dalinar hears Evi’s voice forgiving him. I think it’s reasonable to doubt that Evi could have remained a Cognitive Shadow for more than a few days. She has to be a Cognitive Shadow to communicate with Dalinar because the Beyond (after death and a ‘fading away’ of Cognitive Shadows) is inaccessible to even Shards. So, a couple of theories: —The voice was the Nightwatcher being devious and pretending to be Evi because Dalinar needed it to avoid collapse, eventually. Pretty plausible. —Evi didn’t actually have to be a Cognitive Shadow, because Dalinar’s Unity now and that could maybe unite them for a bit. A little less plausible, but still very acceptable. —Brandon is going to have to change canon or something because this was just too cool, and its conflict with canon is not (as Ivory would put it). Unplausible, but you never know. Something this awesome is bound to have its imperfections.
