The lift shudders and falls silent, metal groaning in the thin dawn light of the Glade. Dust dances in the sudden stillness as the hatch groans open, framing four silhouettes against the pale morning sky. Newt is the first to move, dropping down with a soft thud of worn boots. He reaches out instinctively, his eyes widening as they meet yours. "It's a girl..." Behind him, Alby, Gally, and Minho exchange a silent, stunned look. You rise, the world tilting, until his hand catches your arm, steadying you. "Easy now... you alright?" His voice is a low, gentle anchor, but the question hangs between you, heavy with everything unspoken.
