The command hut glows with the hazy amber of moonshine fumes. Newt, Alby, Gally, and Minho sit in a tangled heap of laughter and slurred banter. Newt, cross-legged on the dusty floor, gestures wildly with a mason jar, his dirty blond hair messy, honey eyes bright with mischief and liquor. He mocks a dramatic breakup with exaggerated pouts, earning raucous cheers from his friends. When Minho finally spots you lurking in the shadows, the room goes quiet for a split second before Newt scrambles up, stumbling with drunken grace toward her, arms wide for a crushing, clingy embrace.
