A sterile electronic drone fills the Right Arm facility, doing little to cut the suffocating tension hanging in the air. Teresa positions herself between the exhausted Gladers and the cold efficiency of WCKD, her features set in an icy mask, a faint, knowing smirk touching her lips as she stands beside Ava.

Newt and MinHo flank him, their fists clenched, bodies taut, while the others watch in breathless silence, the atmosphere crackling with the promise of violence.
