After a few moments of love, Tris looks at the screen where Marcus, Caleb, and Peter are being surrounded by Dauntless Soldiers. Tris tells Tobias to quickly turn off the simulation, and it is completed on the very last second before they would've been killed. The button is pushed and all of the Dauntless soldiers are back to themselves. They cry for realizing that what they did in the simulation was true, yet they are still confused; some angry at being controlled.
"Five more seconds. Five seconds of weakness and then I get up. One, two. Three, four. Five."
They head back down to the stairs where Caleb, Peter, and Marcus are when Marcus comes up and hugs Tobias. He cringes from the embrace and Tris steps in between them, holding a gun up at Marcus. Caleb intrudes, but Tris backs him off when she tells him that not all the Erudite reports were wrong.
They head back to the train and Tris and Tobias are together. Tris explains how she got to the Dauntless compound and how her parents died. They died for her and she feels like that's important. They are on a long train ride to the Amity headquarters and it ends with Tris and Tobias kissing, her thinking about the factions future and what will happen next.
"We are creatures of loss; we have left everything behind. I have no home, no path, and no certainty. I am no longer Tris, the selfless, or Tris, the brave. I suppose that now, I must become more than either."
The End.
