"Thomas." Alby said, making Thomas wake up before Alby covered his mouth, "Shh." Alby whispered, making Thomas furrow his brows as he looked up at Alby and Thalia. "Follow us." Thalia whispered before walking away making Thomas look at them confused before quietly getting out of his hammock.
"It's peaceful, isn't it? I know it's hard to believe, but it wasn't always this way. We had dark days. We lost a lot of boys to fear. To panic. We've come far since then. Established order... made peace." Alby said as he looked at Thomas who nodded slightly. "Yeah. Why are you telling me this?" Thomas asked as they stood by the wall.
"Because you're not like the others. You're curious." Thalia said and Alby nodded, "But you're one of us now. You need to know what that means." Alby said before grabbing Thomas' hand and placing a knife in it. Thalia pointed at the wall, making Thomas turn around to find a bunch of names carved into the wall, some crossed out.
"What happened to them?" Thomas asked, gesturing to one of the crossed out names and Thalia ame Alby glanced at each other, "As we said... dark days, Thomas." Thalia said. Thomas looked at the wall for a moment before taking a deep breath and stepping up to carve his name.

Thalia, Newt and Thomas stood around the gardens as they worked, well, Thomas was more distracted than anything. "Has anyone tried climbing to the top?" Thomas asked and Thalia nodded, "We've tried it. The ivy doesn't go all the way to the top." She said, not glancing up at him, "And besides, where are you gonna go from there?" Newt asked.
"And what about the Box? You know, next time it comes up-" Thomas asked and Newt cut him off, "No, we tried that. The Box won't go back down with someone in it." Newt said. "Okay, what if we-" Thomas started to say but Thalia cut him off as she stood up straight, "Look, we tried it, okay? Twice. Trust me. Anything you think of, we've already tried. The only way out of here is through the maze." Thalia said.
