The Glade lies quiet in the grey light of early morning, dew beading on the leaves in the garden Newt tends. You find him there, his back to you, fingers working in the soil—but the silence is heavy, charged. He turns sharply, his sandy hair catching the dawn, and his dark eyes glisten with a furious, wounded intensity. He takes a step toward you, his gait uneven, and his voice breaks as the words tear free. 'I wish you'd died in the maze. I wish a griever had taken you.' The confession hangs between you, and he waits, breath held, for you to break the terrible stillness.
