Tris faces Tobias in the control room as he holds a gun on
her. She places the gun on the floor but he tells her to drop the weapon
again. When she realizes he doesn’t know
what is happening, she runs at him, grabbing his wrist. The gun goes off and
she is able to make him release the weapon. They begin fighting with Tris
desperately trying to figure out how to win in this situation and then says his
name. When he hesitates slightly, Tris
is able to get the gun and points it at him. I wonder how Tris developed so much strength to take on Tobias?
Talking to him, she tries to get him to remember who he is and knows she
can’t kill him. She realizes she has been in this situation before in her fear
landscape and chose to die in the past. She doesn’t choose that option this
time. She relies upon the words of her father:
“My father says – used to say – that here is power in
self-sacrifice.”
She offers Tobias the gun and he quickly presses it against
her forehead. She reaches out to rest her hand against his chest and feels his
heartbeat as the bullet clicks into the chamber. This chapter leaves me with a large cliffhanger. This event just reinforces the trust that Tris and Tobias share.
