May the peace of God be with you, she says, her voice low, even in the midst of trouble. Why would it? I say softly, so no one else can hear. After all I've done... It isn't about you, she says. It is a gift. You cannot earn it, or it ceases to be a gift.

I imagine the wave of water colliding with the rock and spilling over the tile floor, collecting around my shoes.

My back aches, which is some indication, but it is not definite enough.

But that wasn´t the first time I ever saw her. I saw her in the hallways at school, and at my mother’s false funeral, and walking the sidewalks in the Abnegation sector. I saw her, but I didn’t see her no one saw her the way she truly was until she jumped. I suppose a fire that burns that bright is not meant to last.

I wonder if fears ever really go away, or if they just lose their power over us.

They all laugh. We all laugh. And it occurs to me that I might be meeting Tobias's true faction. They are not characterized by a particular virtue. They claim all colors, all activities, all virtues, and all flaws as their own.

I wonder how I seem to them. They must see someone I don't see. Someone capable and strong. Someone I can't be someone I can be.

Sometimes drastic change requires drastic measures.

Caleb runs up to me and folds me carefully in his arms. I breathe a sigh of relief. I thought I had gotten to the point where I didn’t need my brother anymore, but I don’t think such a point actually exists.

I understand why she did all those things, but that doesn't mean we aren't still broken.

Any idiot can stand in front of a target, I say. It doesn't prove anything except that you're bullying us. Which, as I recall is a sign of cowardice Then it should be easy for you, Eric sys. If you're willing ot take his place.
