Eric congratulates her about finishing her final evaluation and wants to inject her with a tracking device in case she were ever to go missing. He also says that everyone is getting them, including the leaders. The sight of the big needle makes Tris tense because she knows that serums lead to simulations, and she's supposed to be over with simulations.
Four takes Tris back to his place just to hang out until the ceremony and Tris is scared of Tobias in real life. Tris begins crying when he kisses her and they fight about Tris not being easy, haha. He forces her to stay and they make up. When he puts his hand on her shoulder, he feels a bandage from her most recent tattoo, and asks if he can see it. They bond over the fact that they have the same Abnegation tattoo and he takes off his shirt so she can see all of his.
He claims that the reason he has all the faction tattoos is because he wants to be all of their values. I think that this should be true of all people. We should always be looking to better ourselves in every aspect. We should never abandon a way of life, we should embrace it fully and go from their.
The concept of the factions makes me angry because they're saying that you pick one thought process for the rest of your life, no matter what the circumstance. This is completely impractical because there are going to be times in a persons' life when they are going to need to be kind, or they need to be intelligent, or they need to be honest, or they need to be selfless, or they need to be brave. You cannot just pick on of these and apply it to every situation that you encounter because all the situations will be different. It is not possible to be the same forever.
