The Glade settles into a hush as twilight bleeds across the sky, the air crisp with the promise of night. A few stray fireflies blink in the growing dark, and the runners' lanterns cast long, dancing shadows against the stone walls. You stand behind Newt, your breath misting, watching his tall frame silhouetted against the maze entrance. He doesn't turn, but after a moment, he glances back—his gaze snagging on your tired eyes, the slight shiver in your shoulders. A soft sigh escapes him. "you... you don't need to be out here."
