Gally guided Y/N towards the Medhut, his firm support helping her navigate the painful journey with a measure of relief. As they entered the Medhut, Minho hurriedly went to fetch Newt and Alby, ensuring that the Medjacks would attend to the new girl's injuries.

With gentle care, Gally helped Y/N sit on one of the beds in the Medhut. The atmosphere was tense as Clint and Jeff, the Medjacks, approached to assess her injuries. Gally stood by Y/N's side, a silent guardian watching over her, as Clint and Jeff began their examination.

Meanwhile, Minho returned with Newt and Alby, the trio entering the Medhut and taking their places in a corner, their eyes fixed on the scene unfolding before them. Gally joined them, and they engaged in a hushed discussion about where they had found Y/N in the maze.

As Clint and Jeff inspected Y/N's injuries, their expressions grew serious. Newt, Alby, and Minho exchanged concerned glances while Gally kept a watchful eye on Y/N. The Medjacks confirmed the extent of her injuries - a broken wrist and a sprained ankle. The news hung in the air, casting a shadow over the room.

"Any other injuries we should know about?" Clint asked, concern etched on his face.

Y/N hesitated for a moment before admitting, "There's pain when I breathe. It feels like my ribs."

Clint exchanged a glance with Jeff, a fellow Medjack with a wealth of experience. Their silent communication spoke volumes, and they both knew they needed to investigate further. After a few hushed whispers, Clint turned back to Y/N.

"We need to check your ribs, they could be broken. Can you take off your shirt?" Clint asked gently.

Y/N nodded and, with a mix of pain and caution, began to lift her shirt over her head. As her back was revealed, a collective gasp escaped the lips of Gally, Newt, Alby, and Minho, their eyes widening in shock at the sight that greeted them. Even Clint and Jeff, who had seen their fair share of hardships within the Glade, were taken aback as they beheld Y/N's back.

Y/N's back told a tale of pain and suffering, adorned with scars that crisscrossed like a haunting map of her past. Fresh wounds, resembling those inflicted by ropes or a whip, marred her skin. The room fell silent as the gravity of the situation sank in.

Feeling a sense of vulnerability, Y/N bit her lip, her eyes flickering with a mix of embarrassment and apprehension.

Clint and Jeff exchanged a solemn look before quietly requesting privacy to examine Y/N's injuries more closely. With a nod from Alby, the others filed out of the room, leaving the two Medjacks to tend to their patient.

Meanwhile, Gally, Newt, Alby, and Minho gathered in the glade hall to deliberate, their minds racing with questions about Y/N's arrival and the significance of her injuries. They knew they needed to organise the materials from the box and make preparations for her care while also discussing the implications of her presence in the Glade.

As the group dispersed, Clint and Jeff carefully inspected Y/N's back, their expressions grim as they noted the extent of her injuries. Among the scars and fresh wounds, they discovered signs of broken ribs, adding to the list of Y/N's physical traumas.

In the midst of their examination, Winston hurried into the hut, carrying a large box labelled 'for the girl.' He placed it in the corner and swiftly departed, leaving the curious trio wondering about its contents.

Eager to uncover the mystery, Clint and Jeff eagerly opened the box. To their surprise, it contained a set of clothes, hair ties, and a few vials filled with a mysterious green liquid. A note lay nestled within, and Clint retrieved it, scanning the written words.

"These things must be for you, Greenie", Clint remarked.

A spark of realisation crossed Clint's face as he looked at the vials. "And these must be healing serums. These might help us patch you up faster."

Without hesitation, Clint and Jeff set to work, carefully administering the serums to Y/N's broken bones. As the liquid worked its magic, Y/N felt a warmth spread through her body, easing the pain and discomfort that had plagued her since her arrival in the maze.

Once Y/N was patched up, Clint and Jeff exchanged a nod of satisfaction. "You should be good to go. But take it easy; your bones will need another week to heal completely," Clint said, offering Y/N a reassuring smile. "Head over to the glade hall, and we'll organise the rest of your things for you."

"Thank you," Y/N said sincerely, rising from the examination table. As she made her way to the glade hall, Y/N couldn't help but notice the significant improvement in her condition. Her ankle, wrist, and ribs no longer throbbed with the same intensity as before, thanks to the healing serums provided by the mysterious box. With each step, she felt a renewed sense of strength and determination.

Y/N cautiously stepped into the glade hall, where Alby, Gally, Newt, and Minho had just concluded their deliberation. The atmosphere was tense, and she felt a mix of anxiety and anticipation as Alby's stern gaze fell upon her.

"Greenie," Alby began, his tone authoritative, "what you did was incredibly irresponsible. Running into the maze not only endangered yourself but also Gally and Minho, who had to go in after you."

Y/N bit her lip, lowering her gaze as she absorbed Alby's words. She knew she had acted recklessly, and the consequences were now unfolding before her.

Alby continued, "Normally, the punishment for entering the maze without authorisation is a night in the pit. However, considering you're new and might not fully grasp our rules yet, I'll let it slide this time."

Relieved, Y/N nodded gratefully. "Thank you," she murmured, understanding the severity of her actions.

"But," Alby added, his expression firm, "you'll need a place to stay. Since you're the only girl in the glade, the builders will make you a hut of your own. Until it's ready, you'll be staying in Gally's hut."

Gally's eyes widened with disbelief, and he began to protest, "Wait, what? Alby, you can't—"

But Alby cut him off, raising a hand to silence him. "I've made up my mind, Gally. It's the best arrangement for now."

Gally shot a glare in Y/N's direction, clearly displeased by the decision. Y/N, feeling a mix of gratitude and discomfort, kept her gaze fixed on the ground.

"I'll show you around the glade," Alby announced, addressing Y/N. "Come with me."
