Tris’s shoulder was on fire as she pressed further against the wall. Tobias leaned in closer, his eyes still blank. “I don’t believe you will,” she whispered softly to him. The cold metal of the gun barrel pressed closer to her head, but he didn’t pull the trigger. Still, her best efforts to get him back weren’t working. He was too far into the simulation’s clutches.
