Summary: After turning traitor first to Chicago and then to the Insurgent coup, Eric considers what he should do to make things right or if there is anything at all left he can do.
Excerpt:
If the door hadn't shut behind me, I probably would have left. Even stepping forward I was considering that it would be better for my reputation to do so. "What are you doing up here?" I asked to make polite conversation. That much I could offer. Eric had given up a lot to be here or so the rumors told. I didn't listen to what people said around Dauntless for fear that I would hear about me and what they truly thought of their Divergent rat.
"Considering the possibilities," he grunted in response. I frowned at that and took another step forward. No one was truly the same now as they had been eight months ago, but I didn't think that sounded like a response that the ex-Leader would normally have given.
It sounded introspective. It sounded morose. It sounded like my own damn inner monologue when I dared to check in with myself in the quiet of the morning.
