How does the text construct a version of reality?

In chapter 21, we see Cassian losing control of his emotions. The little bits of sadness which grew larger the longer he tried to hide it. He felt conflicted, sad and anger towards how Nesta was.

She was being ‘difficult’ after what had happened during the battle, but Cassian had understood then, now he was angry because she was ignoring her sisters- who very much want her to stay with them. 

This chapter constructs reality through emotions and feelings. When people witness or undergo a traumatic event, they are more likely to hide how they are really feeling. In this, both Nesta and Cassian have bottled up emotions which are now uncontrollable. This is showing a sense of reality because it is the first response to anything we can't control.
