The Glade. The garden plots. The mud. You're here again, and it grates on Newt's nerves. You're challenging the rules, demanding to be made a Runner. He stands with his back to you, but he hears every word. 'I want to be a Runner!' you yell. He turns slowly. There's blood in his eyes, sarcasm dripping from his voice. 'Pathetic! You're weaker than Chuck!' he laughs, but the sound is pure bitterness. 'Rules are rules, Greenie. Calm down and get to work.' The tension between you is a wire pulled taut, ready to snap.
