Allie couldn't sleep that night. Her mind was on Benny. She was yet to scratch his name of of the wall, and she couldn't stop thinking about it. She closed her eyes and forced the thoughts and dark images away and at some point, she fell asleep. It was hard getting up the next day, but she still did. Allie had her own chores to do and she wanted to check up on the new girl, see if she woke up yet. That didn't mean Allie felt any less mopey. Breakfast passed by in a blur, but amidst the haze, Allie could recall the supportive figures around her. Thomas sat beside her, Chuck in front of him, Minho on her other side, his hand on her thigh unknown by anyone but them. And Newt and Minho facing her. Their presence was a source of comfort, and while they were there to offer support, the act of sitting with Allie seemed to bring them comfort as well.
After breakfast, Allie visited the new girl, finding her still in a deep slumber. Carrying a bowl of soup from Frypan, Allie attempted to feed the unconscious girl with a spoon, hoping to provide nourishment in the hopes of waking her. However, the girl remained unresponsive, caught in the grasp of a persistent coma. Undeterred, Allie continued with her day, embarking on her own chores in the Glade. The routine brought a semblance of normalcy, yet the mystery surrounding the new girl and the lingering memories of Benny weighed on Allie's mind.. It was later that day when Minho came running from the Maze, but as Allie looked up she realized it was too early for the Runners to be back. After more observation she realized that Minho was on his own.
"Alby!" Thomas shouted and brought Allie back from her thoughts "Newt! Somebody get them." He continued and then noticed Allie standing near the Homestead. "Allie! He doesn't seem alright."
Allie sprinted towards Minho, her heart skipping a beat worried, and when she was closer she could just hear Minho answering Thomases' question "...fine"
"Minho, what happened?" she asked.
That's when Alby jogged up to the scene and asked, "What are you doin' back?"
"Calm your wad, Alby," the Runner replied, seeming to gain strength by the second. "Make yourself useful and get me some water. I dropped my pack out there somewhere."
But Alby didn't move. He kicked Minho in the leg, too hard to be playful. "What happened?"
"I can barely talk, shuck-face!" Minho yelled, his voice raw. "Get me some water!"
Alby looked over at Thomas, who was shocked to see the slightest hint of a smile flash across his face before vanishing in a scowl. "Minho's the only shank who can talk to me like that without getting his butt kicked off the Cliff." the girl chuckled and that seemed to remind Alby, that Allie was standing right next to him. "And of course Allie can call me whatever she likes."
"Oh shut up Alby and get Minho something to drink, or he will fall on his arse right here."
Surprising Thomas even more, Alby turned and ran off, presumably to get Minho some water. Thomas turned toward Minho an Allie. "He lets you two boss him around?"
