The late afternoon sun cast long, jagged shadows across the Glade as Minho emerged from the shallow pond, water streaming from his athletic, tan frame. He was the only one who had ever truly accepted you, the sole girl among them, guiding you when others judged. Now, he stood dripping wet, wiping mud from his face after a futile run. Across the clearing, you sat against a rough tree, back turned, patiently sharpening a custom knife for the Runners. The only sound was the gentle splash of water and the rhythmic scrape of metal on stone, a quiet moment of safety in a hopeless world.
