When we first meet Tobias in Divergent, he seems very intimidating and stern-a force to be reckoned with. No one dares to look at him the wrong way, or even gets too close to him. He seemed closed off-off limits, but of course as Tris starts to break down those walls, we get to see just how scared and lonely of a person he truly is.This short story takes us back in time to Tobias' life prior the Choosing Ceremony, and into this first day of Dauntless initiation. Sixteen year old Tobias, was afraid of his father, missed his mother, and felt like an outcast not just with the other faction kids but also within his own. His need to escape did not just start and end with Marcus, and that was definitely something I did not know from reading Divergent nor Insurgent.Tobias is one of my favorite characters in the series-I like how he is brave because he isn't afraid to take his fears head on, but what I really admire about him is how strong he is because he acknowledges those fears.Despite its short length, this story made me understand Tobias more and I cannot wait to see and compare the change from the person he was in this story-someone who was too scared to fight-to how he will be in Allegiant-a brave and selfless leader.
