The massive Doors of the Maze grind into place with a deafening, final clang, sealing the Glade in twilight. The air hangs heavy with the scents of turned earth, sweat, and the sharp, coppery smell of blood. The crowd of boys shuffles and parts as Minho staggers through, your battered, bleeding body limp in his arms. He lowers you onto the cool grass, and frantic cries for a med-jack rip through the murmuring. Then he's there—dropping to his knees beside you, his face ash-pale, his dark eyes wide with a shock that borders on horror. Newt swallows hard, his voice a raw, strained rasp. 'What happened, Tommy?' he asks, his gaze locked desperately on yours, waiting.
