You ran your fingers across the smooth grass that blanketed the soil.

If you could call it grass.

You knew it couldn't be. . .real. At least, not fully real.

Same went for the trees and forest that lined the edges of the clearing you currently occupied.

You. . . and about seventy other people.

The groups that had divided boys and girls were apparently not a thing here, since both boys and girls arrived almost every other day.

Based on where the group was before you. . .you liked to refer to it as 'arrived'.

It sounded less morbid than 'dying'.

But based on where they had been then -breaking out of WICKED to find the safe haven on their own- then you hoped people would stop having to come here.

To the afterlife.

Your eyes darted to the young boy.

The boy who was only about twelve when he died.

You swallowed, letting your eyes drift away from Chuck.

It still hurt to think about how Chuck had died.

He didn't deserve it, he didn't, he was to young-

You stopped yourself just before you would start to spiral.

You turned to the older boy, one of the first to arrive, the past leader of the Glade.

"Alby, why-"

You were cut off by a shriek.

You and Alby both turned your heads on instinct to the group of girls the shriek had come from, following their lines of sight, to the rim of the forest.

Another girl stood there, one you hadn't even seen before.

Her clothes were slightly torn and wrinkled, cropped red hair framing her face. Her face was soft, and kind.

Love you-

Her eyes were searching the group of girls, but she remained at the edge of the forest.

By her shy expression, she knew everyone was watching.

But then her eyes landed on one of the girls.

That girl stood up, tears in her eyes.

Even as she remained at the edge of the forest, the girl smiled slightly, tears also in her eyes.

When she spoke, it was quiet, but sliced through the otherwise silent clearing. "Hi, baby,"

She was cut off as the girl ran to her, embracing her.

You turned away as they started to kiss.

It just reminded you of Newt.

Love you-

You wanted Newt to live, though. You wanted him to live a full, long life.

But. . .

You also wanted to be with him.

Was that wrong?

You shook your head to clear your thoughts, before turning back to Alby, to continue you initial question.
