The Box shudders to a halt, groaning metal echoing in the sudden stillness. Sunlight slams down, blinding white after the dark ascent, and you throw up a hand to shield your eyes. All around, the Glade rushes into focus — green grass, rough gray walls, and a crowd of boys staring down at you, frozen. Their chatter swells: "It's a girl! She's alive!" The words hit like stones. Your legs move before your mind catches up — you vault out of the Box, feet pounding toward the towering stone maze. Ahead, the open gap of the exit looms. A shout splits the air — "She's running towards the maze!" — then footsteps close in, a body slams into yours, and you're on the ground, pinned. you, why did you run?
