In the chapter when the divergents just escaped the city and they are retaining a ton of infomation about the new world that they just have entered. Tobias esspecially is effected by this change. He is conflicted between being excited about getting away from his unstable mother and his abusive father. And being confused and upset about that the things that used to be so important to him like the fractions and his job now don't matter. This makes him feel like all the things he has worked so hard for doesn't even matter.
In Allegiant Tobias expresses his feeling towards the new information, "I still feel numb and confused when I walk back to the dormitory later and crawl back into bed. I don't know what I'll do." (Roth 143) This is the most important lines in the chapter because it shows Tobias feeling towards the past hectic day. The words like numb and confused show that he has not really figured out his feeling towards escaping out of the city he has know all his life. We will have to see how the next few days will affect him.
