There will be quite a bit of text from Insurgent woven into the rest of the chapters, so it's a good time to say again that this is Veronica Roth's story and her characters!

I type in silence for some minutes when I hear Christina say, over the clicking of the keys, "That's weird."

"What is?" I respond, without slowing down or looking up.

"Edward just shot me in the leg."

"Yeah," I say. "You already told me."

"No, I mean in the simulation," she says slowly. "He shot me in the leg in the simulation." We stare at each other.

"Do you think..." she starts, and then trails off, putting a cold compress on the bruised knot rising on Darius's temple. She bundles up her Dauntless jacket and puts it under his head, muttering "There's not much more I can do for him." Then she stands up stiffly, watching the screen.

I go back to the computer. "What happened to Jeanine?" I say softly, keeping my eyes on the screen in front of me. "In real life, I mean."

"She's dead," Christina says. "We got there too late. Sam couldn't stop them - he was dead, too, on the floor in front of the cell, by the time got there. He took a lot of them down with him, though," she notes approvingly.

"He was Leo's other brother?"

"Yeah," she says quietly. "Darius is the youngest. He's only a couple of years older than you are."

"We got in a firefight with them," she continues, "Uriah tried to get them to stop when he saw me, but the Factionless with him paid no attention to him."

"And Tori," she continues, though she sounds distracted, "it was like she was out of her mind, screaming, kicking, even biting. She kept yelling something about Eddie, whoever that is. We tried to stop her, but she killed Jeanine - stabbed her to death in the stomach, then ordered the Factionless to take the body down to the lobby to show everyone, and to kill us if we got in the way."

Christina gasps then and moans. I look over my shoulder in time to see Tris shoot Will. Wait, Will?

"What is going on?" I say, swiveling around to see the screen.

"She just had to kill herself and then...Will, again, in order to get into Jeanine's lab. Some kind of simulation." Christina frowns, "there's something not right about that."

"Having to kill Will again?"

"No," she says thoughtfully. "The whole sequence. It was unnerving, sure, but too...easy, I guess." Christina goes to check on Darius, looking back and forth between him and the screen. I return to my code.

Just a few minutes later, I hear Christina mutter an expletive. She's staring, wide-eyed at the screen. Tris is inside Jeanine's lab with Tori and Jeanine. Tris, pointing a gun at Tori, says, "all I'm asking is for you to trust me, please. There's something important, something only she knows the location of..."

I tear my eyes reluctantly from the screen and return to the work. But I listen to Tris and Tori argue, as the standoff between them continues.

"Nothing is more important than her death," Tori finally says.

"If that's what you insist on believing," Tris responds, her voice infused with regret, "I can't help you. But I'm also not going to let you kill her."

"I'm a Dauntless leader," Tori says, "you don't get to decide what I do."

Christina gasps again and says, "Oh my God, Four!"

I turn around in time to see Jeanine slump to the floor, Tori facing Tris with a knife in her fist. Her arm is covered in blood.

"Tori just stabbed her - in the stomach," Christina whispers. "She can hear us."

We are staring at each other, and I'm not sure if we're both trying to think about what that might mean, or if we're trying not to think about it. My mind is racing through the last day- days? I have no idea how long I've been in this room. But Tris has clearly been weaving events around her into her simulation. Christina and her makeover... Cara and her forgiveness... I told her to go after Caleb, and she did. And now Edward shoots Christina in the leg and Tori stabs Jeanine.

I frown.

"What are you thinking?" Christina asks.

"I think she is subconsciously grabbing some of the things happening in this room and adding them into her simulation, with one exception." I pause, thinking it over. "Me. Most of the parts when she was working things out with me happened before I got here. Since then, she actually lied to me so she could get me off screen and go off with you and Marcus. I haven't been in the simulation at all."
