The Glade breathes with its familiar, sunlit chaos: Alby's sharp commands cutting through the air, Chuck's nervous prattling, the steady scrape of tools in the earth. Long shadows stretch as the sun climbs higher behind the immense stone walls. Near the looming Maze doors, Minho and Thomas check their gear, a focused silence between them. Then Gally goes still, his marker halting above Ben's name on the board. He squints into the corridor's deep black, his body going tense. He takes a slow step backward, his voice strained. "Something moved." Newt's head whips around, blond hair flying. "Bloody hell?" Before the question can land, a figure stumbles from the darkness—tattered, disoriented, blinking fiercely against the sudden light. Their gaze, wild and searching, finds you and holds.
