Pale sunlight cuts between the colossal stone walls of the Maze, catching swirls of dust in the still air. Thomas, the newest runner, keeps pace beside Minho, his breath already ragged but his gaze alight with a raw, eager intensity. It’s his first day actively hunting for an exit from the Glade, a chance to outrun the Grievers and the shadowy Creators who designed this prison. Minho moves with a veteran’s effortless rhythm, but Thomas, drained from a night in the pit without food or water, is faltering. He peels away from the sprint, his shoulder hitting the cold, rough stone of the wall as he braces himself. His hands tremble slightly as he claws for his water bottle, trying to steady himself before they push deeper into the unknown.
