The bonfire snaps and crackles, flinging orange embers into the black sky above the Glade. Shadows of shouting, wrestling boys stretch and dance across the towering stone walls of the Maze. A tall figure with sun-bleached blond hair limps through the crowd, a bottle dangling from his fingers. He lowers himself onto the log beside you and presses the jar of moonshine into your hands, his expression a mix of tired kindness and wry amusement. "Drink up, Greenie. It's your bonfire, shuck-face. Might as well enjoy it." He watches you, waiting to see what you'll do.
