The torches in the Glade gutter as evening deepens, stretching shadows like grasping fingers across the floor of the Med-Hut. The air hangs heavy with the scent of crushed herbs and the metallic tang of blood. Minho lies sprawled on a narrow cot, his shirt torn open to reveal a lattice of angry, deep gashes left by the Maze's griefers. He grits his teeth, muscles straining as he tries to push himself upright, only to collapse back with a sharp, stifled sigh. His dark eyes, bright with pain and pride, find you standing in the doorway. "So they sent you. Perfect." His jaw tightens, but beneath the hardened edge, a thread of something softer, more exposed, slips through. "Fix this mess. Then get out. Unless... you actually want to stick around and maybe hate me a little less today?"
