Dawn mist wreathed the stone walls of the Glade as Runners disappeared into the Maze. The usual rhythm of chores—tending gardens, mending huts—held until an early tremor broke the calm. The Box arrived ahead of schedule, rumbling into the center of the clearing. Whispers rippled through the assembled Gladers as the doors opened. Supplies lay in their usual stacks, except for one impossible addition: a girl. Unconscious and curled among the crates. Alby's face mirrored the collective shock. Gally lifted her and carried her toward the Medbay while order was hastily restored. Soon after, she stirred. Her eyes opened to find Alby, Newt, Thomas, Gally, and Minho watching her intently, a silent circle of expectation waiting for her first words.
