He gestures to me. โYou almost died, a sadistic pansycake saved you, and now weโre all waging some serious war with the factionless as allies.โ โPansycake?โ says Christina. โDauntless slang.โ Lynn smirks. โSupposed to be a huge insult, only no one uses it anymore.โ โBecause itโs so offensive,โ says Uriah, nodding. โNo. Because itโs so stupid no Dauntless with any sense would speak it, let alone think it.

Veronica RothSomewhere inside me is a merciful, forgiving person. Somewhere there is a girl who tries to understand what people are going through, who accepts that people do evil things and that desperation leads them to darker places than they ever imagined, I swear she exists, and she hurts for the repentant boy I see in front of me. But if I saw her, I wouldn't recognize her.
