I'm probably not the best person to explain this subplot to you because there might be details I've missed. I mostly focus on the things that involve the plotline that I am a part of, because... well, I'm a part of it.

This part, from what I can tell, is [name] trying to give some of their power via hemalurgy to [name] because they need it because of a detail mentioned a long while ago that i've forgotten.

I'm also very bad at names

Meron is a gold compounder. His gf, Emma, had a disease no doctor could help. He researched a way to do “safe” hemalurgy where he could keep his power and give it to her

Is it canon to the Cosmere? lol good joke. But the hg universe uses the canon lore as guidelines more than strict rules

He ran to his mother’s house, beaming the whole way. He opened the door and prepared to speak, but didn’t see anyone. “That’s… weird, usually Mom’s around here.”

"Huh. Strange." Emma said, brow furrowed.

“Mom?” he called a few times, and she quickly came down and grabbed his shoulders. 

“Where have you been?!”

He gaped.

Yeah, he'd probably have left the house at this point, otherwise he'd have just been standing there during the entire Meron-Emma thing that happened.

 

Mark left to warn the Steeles about the risk of an impending attack.

Adris sends two Steeles out to buy metals for the rest of them, including brass for Mark.

He didn't have enough to buy any meaningful amount of Stormlight. 

--- --- --- 

The Killer paced inside his prison. He always did. It was all that he did.

Except for the few glorious moments on the Outside, taking control. Moments of pure glory.

Moments of blood.

He hadn't seen much combat over the years after the Hunger Games, hadn't been a part of any meaningful fighting.

Until the Marksmen. Until he was unleashed again.

The last time, he thought.

For a final time, he tried charging at the walls of the ethereal, dark box he was held in. He plunged into the smoke, coming out the other wall.

It was a futile attempt, one final check that he couldn't escape. He knew that he couldn't escape, because he was aware of the fact that he didn't really exist. He was a part of the Radiant, who held control most of the time. 

So, knowing that he only had one option left, he sat down. Thinking.

Bloodshed wasn't the key to a true society, he knew. He knew that if he was unleashed, he would destroy that which many people had worked to build. But... the glory, the adrenaline of the fight... It consumed him. There was only one way to end his pain.

Either he needed to somehow let the Radiant get better, remove him from his head, or... He needed to end him. Put him in a situation where he would have to cede control to the Killer. Where he could break the Radiants oaths and in the process, break him.
