Chapter 31

Tris successfully finishes her final test!  Eric is waiting for her when she gets out and injects her with another serum that has a tracking device in it.  Bad news...the Erudite invented it.  Tris knows that she can't let herself be injected by anything the Erudite created, but she also can't refuse.  Eric gives her the shot.

"I heard a rumor that you only had seven obstacles to face," he says.  "Practically unheard of."

Four invites Tris back to his room to unwind before the banquet later that night.  Tris doesn't want to be afraid of him so she agrees.  While there Tris tells Four that he was in her fear landscape.  She explains her fear to him and Four confesses that he also has no experience with relationships either.  Tris also gets to see Four shirtless! Lucky girl.  On his back are all the faction tattoos in a line.

"I think we've made a mistake," he says softly.  "We've all started to put down the virtues of the other factions in the proves of bolstering our own.  I don't want to do that.  I want to be brave, and selfless, and smart, and kind, and honest."

I agree with Four. Think of how much better the factions would be if everyone tried to have all of those virtues.
