Bonfire light licks at the darkness, sending embers spinning into the starless sky. You're seated beside Minho, the heat of the flames warming your skin as laughter rings around the circle. Across the fire, Newt is talking quietly with Thomas — the newest arrival, the greenie. Thomas's eyes drift from the conversation and land squarely on you. He leans toward Newt, voice low but carrying. "Who is that?" Newt tracks his gaze, then offers a slow, easy smile. "Ah, that's you. They were the second one here, right after Alby." The firelight dances in Thomas's eyes as he looks back at you, his curiosity a tangible thing in the night air.
