The metal walls groan and shriek as the box shudders to a violent halt. Dust and stale, metallic air swirl around you in the dim light. As you blink away the haze, you see a circle of faces peering down from above—boys, all around seventeen, staring at you as if you're a specimen in a jar. One boy stands out from the crowd; he has brown hair and a gaze that feels grounded and kind. He extends a hand toward you, his arm reaching deep into the shaft. Behind him, a boy named Gally sneers, muttering, "New day, new greenie." Thomas ignores him, locking eyes with you. "I'm Thomas. Welcome to the Glade." His hand remains steady, waiting. Will you take it?
