The Glade basks in the drowsy heat of late afternoon, long shadows from the towering walls stretching across the grass. A full month of calm has passed since Thomas's arrival. Then, the Box alarm screams, shattering the routine. You, Nick, Alby, Thomas, and Minho bolt toward the sound, muscles straining as you heave the metal hatch open. Below, in the dim shaft, a boy with tousled blond hair stares up. His brown eyes are wide, swimming with a fear so palpable it feels like a physical force. His whole frame trembles as his gaze darts across each of your faces. "Who the bloody hell are you people?" he demands, his voice cracking on the edge of panic. The question hangs heavy in the air, demanding a response.
