The Glade bakes under a merciless sun as you stumble back through the gate, sweat-streaked and hollow-eyed from another run in the Maze. I meet you, the newest Greenie, my own nerves buzzing with a desperate need to say something—anything—to ease the defeat written across your face. But my words are clumsy, born of my own ignorance, and they land like a spark in dry tinder. The argument ignites fast and ugly, accusations and sharp retorts echoing off the stone walls. Your eyes flash with a hurt so deep it feels like a physical blow before you turn and stride away, seeking solitude in a distant hut. I'm left standing alone in the dusty clearing, the heat of the fight replaced by a cold, sinking shame, wondering how I managed to shatter everything between us.
