What do you think they're going to do to us when they find us guilty? she says after a few minutes of silence have passed. Honestly? Does now seem like the time for honesty? I look at her from the corner of my eye. I think they're going to force us to eat lots of cake and then take an unreasonably long nap.

Al walks in, and I don't even have to ask him to help me, he just walks over and strips bedding with me. i will have to scrub the frame later. Al carries the stack of sheets to the trash and together we walk toward the training room. Ignore him, Al says. He's an idiot, and if you don't get angry, he'll stop eventually.

Not like Tobias, who is almost shy when he smiles, like he is surprised you bothered to look at him in the first place.
Veronica Roth

I forgot my watch. Minutes or hours later, when the panic subsides, that is what I most regret. Not coming here in the first place - that seemed like an obvious choice - but my bare wrist, which makes it impossible for me to know how long I have been sitting in this room. My back aches, which is some indication, but it is not definite enough.

It's wrong, he says. It doesn't matter if your parents are in a better place, they aren't here with you, and that's wrong, Tris. It shouldn't have happened. It shouldn't have happened to you. And anyone who tells you it's okay is a liar.

Grief is not as heavy as guilt, but it takes more away from you.

Looks like someone had a mood swing.” She rolls her eyes. “Like you don’t want to know what his fears are. He acts so tough that he’s probably afraid of marshmallows and really bright sunrises or something.
