001. after the bridge explosion and the subsequent fever and sepsis that’d settled in her blood , tris barely pulled through due to klark being able to complete the transfusion , but at a cost. though there was no name for it among the grounders , tris had developed pps ( post - sepsis syndrome ) , and it affected her ability to do everything. she could barely sit up without crippling nausea , though constantly exhausted , sleep always evaded her -- she could no longer hold a sword or fight. everything she had worked for in her short life was crumbling before her fingertips. she was angry. she was furious. her older sister , cali , came from their village to care for her , but she pushed everyone away , onya , cali , everyone.
intense retraining to try and get her body and mind working somewhat again helped , only up to a point. tris can defend herself , long enough to try and gain help from others , but it leaves a bitter taste in her mouth. she is no longer worthy of being anyone’s second anymore.
