That. Is. It.

I stifle a scream by gritting my teeth and my hands clench so tight I cut off my own blood circulation. THIS is what happens when you're not selfless. Your own faction, or ex-faction, turns on you. And murders you.

Without even looking at my parents, I storm upstairs and into my room. While I'm there sitting on my bed, I make up my mind about one thing.

NO child of mine will ever be selfish.
NO child of mine will do anything to upset Abnegation.

I will make sure of this. I will be firm with them. Why? To protect them. It may not seem obvious, but I will care about them. I will be harsh on them to save their life, because I will fear for their life.

Abnegation will not turn on my future child like they turned on my sister.
