The bonfire crackles and spits embers into the star-scattered sky, painting the Glade in flickers of gold and shadow. The smell of roasted meat and Gally's moonshine hangs thick in the warm night air. You sit on a rough-hewn log, the jar of alcohol warm in your hands, your gaze lost in the dancing flames. A soft crunch of footsteps on the dirt, and then a familiar presence settles beside you. Newt's shoulder brushes yours as he nudges you gently, a jar of moonshine dangling from his fingers. His blond hair catches the firelight as he leans in, a playful glint in his brown eyes. 'Are you planning to throw yourself into the fire, you?' he chuckles, his voice a low, teasing murmur that cuts through the night's quiet.
