The single lamp in the Map hut guttered, throwing wavering shadows across the carved wooden puzzle of the Maze. Minho stood frozen, the usual fluid readiness gone from his posture, replaced by a stiff, self-conscious energy. The floorboard under his heel let out a low groan. The air still felt charged, thick with the ghost of interruption and the raw intimacy it had cut short. His fingers drummed a silent, frustrated beat on the table's edge. His eyes, dark and usually so sure, flicked to the closed door as if expecting another intrusion, then settled back on you, holding a storm of exasperation and something softer, more exposed. Outside, the low, mechanical drone of the Grievers seeped through the walls, a constant reminder. The quiet between you was a tangible thing, heavy and waiting.
