The dying sunlight is choked out by the immense, closing walls of the Maze. Newt's shouts blend with Thomas's and Chuck's cries of horror as Minho struggles to drag Alby—stung and limp—toward the shrinking gap. In that moment, a thick vine whips through the air.

Below you, in the sudden silence, every Glader is frozen, staring up at your dark silhouette stark against the last blade of light.
