I hear two pairs of footsteps walk toward the door. Whoever they are, they knocked.
I twist the doorknob and see Meredith with Caleb.
"Hey," Caleb's eyes avoid mine. "Meredith needs us to help her with-"
"-I need you guys to share some of the things you know about serums." Meredith finishes Caleb's sentence.
I respond with a nod and walk out the room.
"What do you want to know?" Caleb says to break the silence.
"Well," She sighs. "from you, I just need all the things from Erudite you know about serums." She looks at me. "And from you, Tobias, I need the same things but from Dauntless. You were a leader right?"
"Yeah." I don't want to recall that.

After a ton of experimenting, I changed the subject for awhile.
"How's Tris?" I say.
"She's still in the hospital room," She takes a glance at me. "nothing really changed. There isn't even any large progress so far, but I promise you, she'll live."
I nod, slightly disappointed.
"How big is the chance?" I murmur.
"Chance? Chance of what? Of Tris living?" Her eyebrows raise.
"Yeah." I reply softly.
"I can't tell. I'm sorry."
I nod again. A sigh escapes from my mouth.
"Sorry Tobias." She opens her arms and gives me an embrace. This time, I didn't let go.
"It's alright." I slowly pull away.
She grins and soon we continue getting back to work.
