Tris is quiet for awhile before she speaks, so that she doesn't have to pause in the middle to grasp for words. Finally, she says quietly but firmly, "You deserve to hear that you're beautiful. And that you're worth loving. Both of those things are true, Shiro. You're also strong, and thoughtful, and good at seeing situations in different ways than most people."

She's as grateful as Shiro for the people she knows will tell her she's worthwhile in every respect. They've been a lot less rare on the Barge than they were in Tris's life before. "Trusting people is hard, but I'm glad you have a few of us that you feel that way about. I'm honored to be one of them."

"You are," she says, affirmation, because some things bear repeating until they're believed. Because some things are true and mean the world. "You're--you were my best friend there, and I think--maybe you are here, too." So of course she'll trust Tris. It's not always easy to trust people, she's right, but it doesn't always have to be hard.
