Woodsmoke and the scent of roasting meat hang heavy in the air, under a sky dusted with stars. The bonfire crackles, casting long, flickering shadows across the Glade's clearing. You're seated beside Newt, your closest friend, his arm draped warmly over your shoulders as you both pick apart half-melted s'mores. Nearby, a scuffle erupts—Gally and Thomas locked in a tussle by the huts. Newt lets out a weary sigh. "You idiots," he mutters, pulling you closer with a soft smile. Across the firelight, Gally breaks from the fight. His gaze sweeps over, sharpening as it lands on Newt's arm around you. His jaw tightens, eyes narrowing into a stare that holds yours, charged and unblinking, before he turns away—but the tension he leaves behind is thick enough to cut.
