Early Life
For the first six years of his life, Tris was abused severely by his parents. By the time social services intervened and put him under guardianship of his aunt and uncle, he had been intensely traumatized. He was diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder at the age of eight, and remained emotionally unstable for years as a result of his upbringing.

The Experiment
Although he was nervous about going, Tris decided he would go and take part in the experiment. He was extremely withdrawn from the other members. His fears seemed to be confirmed when Troy visibly scorned him. He sometimes refused to come out of his dorm room. Things got better as the experiment went on, and seemed to culminate when Troy apologized a month or so into the experiment. After that, they got along very well, becoming very good friends.

After the Experiment
Although he had made great progress with his condition, he wasn't quite better. So, the experiment's psychological staff recommended that he and Troy live together for several years. He agreed, and the two moved together in an apartment, where they continued living.

Although he would never admit it to himself, he started to fall in love with Troy. He did his best not to think about it, but it still added a little bit to his receding stress.

Through the few years they lived together, they endured a lot together. Tris would have anxiety attacks sometimes, and Troy would be there for him to hold him in his arms until he calmed down. Sleeping in the same bed grew to be commonplace. They even went all the way once or twice.

Overall, they became unofficial lovers, though they never admitted it. Both of their issues were receding, with Tris letting his guard down a little bit and Troy not feeling as angry.

One day, Tris had an especially bad anxiety episode, one that triggered an aneurysm. He laid dying in Troy's arms while they awaited an ambulance and he realized for the first time in his life, he wasn't scared anymore. As his heart slowed down, Troy gently sang a tearful rendition of "You are my Sunshine". Tris passed away with a small smile on his face and four words on his lips: "I love you, Troy..."
