Tris cautiously approaches the chair, and I don't blame her, because she's never been inside of a Fear Landscape before and doesn't know what to expect.

I prepare to tell her the procedure.  

"I'm going to be monitoring your thoughts.  Do you have a problem with that?" I try to sound as gentle as possible.  

"No." She says, even though she looks like she would rather me not do it.

"Okay.  And also, the simulation will end once you calm down.  The trick is to calm down as soon as possible."

She nods.

I approach her with the syringe and gently move her face to the side so I can insert the needle into her neck.

It looks so soft from the angle I'm at...If I got only a little closer...

I insert the needle and try to block the thoughts out.  I can't think like that right now.

I then back away from her and go to my computer where I will monitor her fears.

+++

She has six fears.

Crows, drowning, being burned at a stake by Peter: one of the initiates,  and killing her family members.

Oh yeah, and intimacy.

When she comes out of it, I glance over at her out of the corner of my eye.  She's breathing heavily, even though she wasn't under for that long.

I am about to dismiss her when a question comes to mind.

"How'd you break the glass?"

She adverts my eyes as soon as the words are out of my mouth.

"Tris, I asked you a question." I say, firmer this time.

Eventually, she answers.

"I don't know."

I don't want to keep pestering her, so I dismiss her.

Just as she is leaving, I call after her.

"Tris." 

She turns around to face me.

"The Dauntless don't break the glass like that."
