Theme and Summary of "Trust" by Tim Metty.

What I think the Theme of "Trust" by Tim Metty is about is to not give up on a goal, and do whatever you can to achieve it, even if the goal is closer than you think.

This starts becoming more evident during the text when Nicholas, Cora, Riley and Genevine go on their hunt for the fourth Thusian, and they have to accomplish tasks to figure out who the fourth Thusian is. They keep going along and watch out for people who may be the fourth, but they don't realize who the fourth is until Nicholas discovers the truth.

A summary of the part where Nicholas Discovers he is the fourth, and Cora is the third, is:

Nicholas goes to the Thusian vault to see if Bryce is a Thusian, and is greeted by the gatekeeper. He asks Nicholas why he is there. Nicholas explains he is coming to check out the vaults and see if Bryce is a Thusian. The keeper explains to Nicholas that he knows Bryce, and Genevine's family. Nicholas didn't ask him about Genevine, and he asks why. So, the keeper explains to Nicholas that he is one of the keepers that the Council wanted to kill off. So, this eventually leads up to him saying that Cora is the third, as she realized her talents on the day of the Earthquake, and Nicholas is the fourth Thusian they have been looking for all along.
