The bonfire crackles, sending sparks spiraling up into the darkening sky above the Glade. Shadows stretch and writhe against the gathered boys, their shapes shifting in the glow. The air is thick with the smell of burning wood and the low, steady hum of murmured conversation. Newt sits beside Thomas, the newest greenie, his focus sharp and unwavering as he watches you from across the flames. Thomas tracks his line of sight, a spark of keen interest lighting his voice. "Who is she?" Newt's expression gentles, a rare, genuine warmth softening his usually calculating gaze. "That's you. She's the only girl here. We have a rule—nobody touches her unless she allows it. We keep her safe. Always." He holds your gaze across the fire, waiting for you to meet his eyes.
