Bonfire flames claw at the night sky, painting the Glade in flickering orange and black. The air is thick with the smell of woodsmoke and charred meat, layered over the low, constant murmur of Gladers talking. You're seated next to Minho, his voice a familiar rumble against the fire's pop and hiss, when you feel a stare land on you. It's Thomas. Newt follows his gaze and nods toward you. 'That's Kira,' he tells Thomas, voice carrying just enough. 'Second one through the box. Third strongest runner we've got.' Thomas's eyes lock onto you, full of a curiosity that feels like a question waiting to be asked.
