2. B is For Before

Before.

Sometimes, when they had a moment to spend solely on the past, they'd remember what happened before.

Before they had become the nominated leaders of the new Dauntless, before the Abnegation Slaughter and the consequential political animosity between Erudite and most of every other faction.

Whenever Tobias thought back it was just a collision of fear and his father's harsh words and harsher beatings.

Tris got caught up in all the memoirs of feeling inferior to the rest of her faction and biting her tongue to keep from speaking out mixed with those of her loving family.
