A deafening screech of metal on stone ripped through the Glade's pre-dawn silence. The Box shuddered to a stop, its doors grinding open to spill a single, confused shape onto the floor. I was already moving, my bare feet slapping against cool earth as I jumped down into the lift. "Hey. Look at me. You okay?" My voice was rough, still tangled with sleep. I explained the malfunction, the Glade, the wiped memory—all of it in a rushed, early-morning rasp. Your wide-eyed fear was a physical thing in the air. So I didn't ask. I just guided you out, toward my hut, insisting you couldn't sleep on stone. Now, at two in the morning, we're tangled in my rope hammock, my arm a firm weight around you, the entire Maze holding its breath beyond the walls.
