No happy reunion here. Nope nope nope. (I definitely said this in a Ducky from The Land Before Time voice. Hopefully someone can understand my crazy references.) Tobias is still under the simulation brought on by the serum he was injected with. This poses a little bit of a problem.
There is plenty of fighting and Tris realizes that she doesn't stand a chance against him. The only way win is to snap him out of the simulation. She is begging and pleading him to wake up, to snap out of it. She is trying everything she can to get through to him. She knows he is in there somewhere. The way this way described made me think of those cheesy exorcism movies where they think they can perform an exorcist by yelling, "I know you're in there!" Oh well. I suppose one could try.
She has him at gun point and it isn't until then that she realizes there is no way she can kill him. It is simply our of the question. She recalls wise words from her father: "There is power in self-sacrifice." YEP. THAT'S RIGHT. SHE HANDS HIM THE DANG GUN. She feels the cool metal against her temple and hears the click of a bullet entering the chamber. And then.....
THE CHAPTER ENDS.
"I can't kill him. I am not sure if I love him; not sure if that's why."
