Blend"IN"g
Emily's test results makes her a threat to the ways of The Higher Order. When test results are remarkable, the individual is identified as a threat and noted as having intent to act on independent thoughts and judgements. Those with such results are permanently removed. Blending in becomes the only means of survival.
After taking her secondary test, Tobias notices her exceptionally high score. Recognizing what this means, he has to find out if she knows the risk too. He questions her as a means to test if she can keep her own secret. If she can, she will be able to keep his too. He is also exceptional, but has mastered the skill of blending in. He can protect her, but he needs to know the truth and he needs to know if he can trust her with it.
