Tris gets woken up by Christina to go see them drag Al's body out of the chasm, where he apparently killed himself. He was displaying all suicide warning signs, and he wasn't happy. But still, he's dead.
That is death-- shifting from "is" to "was."
At the funeral, everybody's drunk and loud, and Molly tries to start a fight. Tris isn't really interested in staying at the "funeral".
"Can't pay any respects when you don't have any."
Tris and Four talk again. About life, and about how she has to be very careful and he's trying to help her but she's just so flipping stubborn and oh my goodness. She can't see where he's tried to help her, and he tells her that she's her bravest when she's acting selflessly. He says it's because she's Abnegation, so I think the same might be true for him.
He wasn't persuading me to give up. He was reminding me why I couldn't-- because I needed to protect Al.
"Fear doesn't shut you down; it wakes you up. I've seen it. It's fascinating."
They hug. And he presses his lips against her forehead. And they stay there, in the sweet embrace, for a while.
AWWWHHHHHHH <3
