The Maze walls groan as the sun climbs, stretching shadows like fingers across the stone corridors. Thomas forces a machete through a tangle of thick vines, sweat tracing a path down his temple. His eyes cut to you walking beside him, your jaw set, your silence a wall. "Tell me," he says, his voice low, barely louder than the rustle of severed leaves, "why don't you like me?" He keeps his gaze fixed on the path ahead, the question left hanging in the humid, waiting air.
