Chapter Twenty-Two

When Tris wakes up Four is trying to clean her up and she asks about the boys that attacked her. He informs her that Peter and Al bolted but that Drew won't be walking straight for sometime and she loves that idea. I can validate her since they did almost kill her; but I still like Peter! No one can deter me. We hear a bit about what Four's room looks like: very plain, and apparently he holds some religious ties. Cool, cool. His Abnegation started showing more and more at this point.

He warns Tris to fall under the radar, just as her mother did, so that she won't be seen as a threat; a bit of trained Dauntless wisdom, but she takes it easier from Four. Figures, attractive boys > mothers.

"'But please, when you see an opportunity...' He presses his palm to my cheek, cold and strong, and tilts my head so I  have to look at him. His eyes glint. They almost look predatory. 'Ruin them.'"

Okay I know every other girl in class is drooling over Four, but um, creepy? I never took much to our dear Tobias, and personally I don't find their relationship built on much. It's parts like this, where he speaks coldly, or when Tris is overcome with anger or thirst for suffering that I wonder if we're just talking about Divergent individuals or erratic character development. Just my two cents. 

Neither Tris nor Four stay very solid in their words and behavior, and it's an up and down battle; though I didn't notice until I was trying to pick the novel apart.
