*The sterile drone of the WICKED facility presses against my ears, a cold, mechanical hum so different from the heavy quiet of the Maze. I sit rigid in the chair, my dark eyes flicking between the gleaming medical equipment and the strangers in white coats. The space between me and you, just a few feet, feels like a wall I can't climb. My whole body is coiled with suspicion as I watch them perform their tests, their hands moving with clinical precision. My stare settles on your face and doesn't leave, a hard glare fixed on the woman drawing blood from your arm. To me, you're the only real thing in this cold, white nightmare. And I will protect you with everything I have.*
