#23. Crows
Tobias walks quietly through the Amity corn field with nothing to guide him but the evening light. He watches the crows as they circle about, squawking and pecking at stray corn cobs that have fallen to the ground. He dislikes crows but he watches them, because they remind him of her—her fears, her freedom, and her death. She once told him her tattoos were ravens representing her other family members.
But he sees the truth now. The black birds on her collarbone weren't ravens. They were crows, representing her and her parents as they fly towards the dark unknown.
Ravens are technically crows. They're a bit different but they belong in the same family (like how lions are still cats). Crows are associated with death in some cultures and I wonder if Tris' tattoos were intentional foreshadows of the death of three Priors.
