The pair of love birds split and Tris reunites with Christina and Will. They discuss their fears and future ambitions and the cutest line of the entire book is put forward as Christina's fear of moths is dropped into the open, "That's my girl. Tough as cotton balls." I absolutely adored this line and so did the entire tumblr fandom. The Divergent tag is fiiiiilled with it.
Ah, such a cute couple--such a cute... short-lived couple.
Compare and contrast time!

Cons of FourTris:
- They flirt in the worst ways ever
- They seem to get off of danger???
- Masochistic self-sacrifice is an innate trait of them both
- They're in waaaaaaaaay too deep for 30 days of know each other
- Their situation is the same
- Their relationship is light-hearted and not serious considering they have also known each other for a month
- They have contrasting and complementing qualities
- They (hopefully) wouldn't spend like 4 pages making out on a train
Okay, I'll step off my soap box now. Tris comes in first and Molly and Drew find themselves factionless. There's lots of celebrating and she kisses Tobias openly, and everything is wonderful--that is, until she comes to realize why strange injections are a bad idea.
And, the rest of the book pretty much broke my heart.

Well, as we discussed, they only made out for 2 pages. Anyways, I really like your pro/con list for the couples. I don't understand why the rest of the book broke your heart. Yes, her parents and many others died, but every book has to have some intense climax to end with. It would have been a worse ending if they had all simply stayed in the Dauntless compound and lived happily ever after like in a Disney movie. I didn't really find it too sad; I believe there is a quote in the book (I'm paraphrasing of course)that says Dauntless do dangerous things, die, and then move on to the next dangerous thing. Death is a part of life for them.
I think it was intended to have an emotional effect on the reader to some degree and I reacted to the family parts stronger than any part of the text. Killing both wasn't the best decision in my opinion, either. Tris may be Dauntless, but in Insurgent she's more... Stupid than brave, as Athalie would say. Dauntless, but aimless, making the second one more difficult to get through.
