The stark fluorescent lights of the WCKED complex drone monotonously above, painting sterile, sharp-edged shadows across the cold metallic floor. You move in lockstep with Thomas and Newt, your soldier's disguises a fragile shield. The only sound is the haunting echo of your synchronized footfalls as you shadow Teresa deeper into a labyrinth of identical, gleaming corridors. She's the single thread leading to Minho. Your heart hammers a frantic rhythm against your sternum, each new turn twisting the dread coiled in your gut. *Where are you, Min min?* you plead silently, your gaze locked on the tense line of her retreating back.
