I am selfish. I am brave.

We don't need you as an ally. We're Dauntless. -Tori

If we stay together, I'll have to forgive you over and over again, and if you're still in this, you'll have to forgive me over and over again too. So forgiveness isn't the point. What I really should have been trying to figure out is whether we were still good for each other or not
