"Shay rose into the sky, her silhouette barely visible against the dark trees on the other bank.... disappearing instantly, like something winking out of existence. But Tally could still hear her breathing through the skintenna link. It sounded harsh and angry as it began to fade, as if shay's teeth were still bared in hatred and disgust. Tally tired to think of one more thing to say, something that would explain why she had to do this. Staying with Zane was more important than being a cutter."(171)
Shay does not realize that their is more to life than just being a special. She is almost like a living robot because of the biotechnology used on her to advance her and remove most of her emotions. How could she ever expect Tally to leave Zane after what they have go through together and what Tally had to endure to even get to where she is now? I know Zane is not completely himself because of the pills he tried to take in order to help with the lesions on his brain but doesn't shay realize how guilty Tally feels, and how she has to be human once and make a decision off of her emotions rather than just clear logic? Making decisions of off clear logic and the powers you posses because of biotech is no way a human should live their life, which also shows dystopian characteristic in the specials, though you think there would be none. I guess in a future where biotechnology is so advanced, available, and ready for anyone to use it you cant expect for someone to not abuse it or depend on it in some way shape or form. Though that is why its dystopian they believe they need this in order to be happy or to function, to create perfect outcomes. When in reality being imperfect is all about being human and that is why tally in the main character in the book because she understands that being human is more important than being perfect or this societies idea of being perfect, and in order to make this society normal again I feel as everyone needs to realize this.
