I nod, but the word "Abnegation" feels like a noose wrapped around my throat. Tori studies me for a few seconds, then bites down on the ring in her lip before she says, "Congratulations. "If I was, do you think I would have chewed through my lip?" He told me that they would ask me if I was aware during the simulation, and he told me what to say when they did.
This is what my father said would happen. She sounds and looks casual, but it's a studied casualness, learned from years of practice. were you aware that it wasn't real?" Tori says to me as she turns off the machine. Her arms are marked up and down with ink, flames and rays of light and hawk wings. The Dauntless woman administering my aptitude test-Tori, she said her name was-gives me a strange look as she pulls her black hair back and ties it in a knot. My lip stings, and when I take my hand away from it, there is blood on my fingertips. The Transfer tells us a little bit of Four's, taking us from Aptitude Test to the start of his initiation into Dauntless.I EMERGE FROM the simulation with a yell. Why did Four want to leave Abnegation and what made him choose Dauntless? How did it feel to leave one world behind and choose another. It would probably be fair to say that choosing to leave his family's faction behind and choose another is the biggest decisions a young adult can make in Roth's factioned world, so just as it was fitting that Divergent began with Tris making such a choice, it seems as fitting that the first of these eShorts should focus on Four making a similar choice for his own reasons.
But The Transfer seems to be less about providing us with new and exciting information on this character as it is about allowing us to get to know Four as an individual. Tobias doesn't have the best relationship with his father, to put it mildly, and we know that his nickname has to do with his fear landscape. Of course, if you've read Divergent and Insurgent, you already know the general background story. Eric and Tori both make appearances, as Tori's the one to administer his Aptitude Test. The eBook, which is 30 pages on Kindle, 50 pages on Nook, fills in a few blanks on how Tobias came to the decision to transfer from one faction to another, and how he got his nickname, Four.
The Transfer arrived via Amazon (opens in new tab) and Barnes & Noble (opens in new tab) earlier this month and tells the story of Tobias' decision to leave Abnegation and join Dauntless during his Choosing ceremony.
