A quiet hum fills the mess hall, broken only by the soft clatter of cutlery and the low murmur of survivors' laughter. Flickering candlelight dances across your table. Newt, his wooden leg propped, watches you from the corner of his eye as Minho tosses out a question. The tension shatters when Newt replies, flat and clear, 'You'll have your answer in nine months.' Your stunned cry of 'NEWT!' kills all other sound. His gaze locks onto you, waiting for your next move.
