Transcript

(Emma walks on screen, sighing as she sits. She stares at the camera before laughing.)

Emma: Sorry. Um... this is totally weird for me. (sighs) So, here I am! Safe and sound. And, um, with my mom and my dad. They're both okay and that makes me really happy. They're actually right over there resting right now and which is why (whispers) I probably should be quiet. I know I feel like I should probably tell you guys how I'm feeling. 'Cause I've been thinking about all this stuff a millions times over the last few days and it's really hard for me. (sighs) It's really hard.

(Scene changes and Emma is looking down at her hands.)

Emma: So...(sighs) I don't know what you guys know or don't know but my mom, and dad, and I are hiding it out. My parents thought that it was probably best that I stay far away from the resistance. I mean, they don't want me to turn trait negative. And you've seen the videos. They think I'm like this El Resisto, I dunno, Super Hero or something. And that's ridiculous, right? I think that Jonas, and the Resistance, and everybody is just so obsessed with taking on the Order, that they're not even thinking right anymore. I mean, I might, might, have something in my blood. But I-- I don't--Who knows what it does. Uh.. believe me guys, I -- I am not a super hero, okay? I'm just me. Emma. And honestly, I don't... I don't think I want to be anything else. I like being me.

(Scene changes and Emma is staring directly at the camera, hugging leg.)

Emma: Well, I thought about this every which way I can. And I've decided that I'm going to take the last injection to make me trait negative. (whispers) And so. (Normal voice) That's all. Please don't hate me.

Notes

• This is Emma's first solo video blog.
• Emma says El Resisto instead of La Resisto, a significant linguistic distinction between the masculine and feminine
• Emma's decision to take the serum, regardless of Jonas has to say, could be regarded as a feminist action.
