Tris is put into another simulation. This time she is in a glass box that is slowly filling with water, and the initiates are standing motionless around her. This time instead of calming down, somehow Tris breaks the glass and frees herself from the simulation. Luckily, Four is the only one watching the simulation, because he figures out she’s Divergent. Anyone else probably would have reported it, and Tris would be dead. Tris tries to play it down and ask what Divergent is.
“Don’t play stupid,” he says. “I suspected it last time, but this time it’s obvious. You manipulated the simulation; you’re Divergent. I’ll delete the footage, but unless you want to end up dead at the bottom of the chasm, you’ll figure out how to hide it during the simulations!”
After this happens Tris is more confused than ever, so she goes to the only person who knows about Divergence… Tori. Tori tells Tris that if the leaders find out she’s Divergent she’ll die. Tris doesn’t believe her, so Tori tells her about her brother. He was Divergent and he was happy, but on the last day of simulations he was found in the chasm. Dead.
"Think about this," she says. "these people taught you how to use a gun, They taught you how to fight. You think thye're above hurting you? Above killing you?"
I wonder how Tori can stand to live with the people who are responsible for her brother's death. Especially, since they won't be punished or brought to justice for it.
