Zelia woke up from the Glade without her memories from her past - only her name she knows.
What will happen to her? Is she's willing to give up everything? Will she face all of her challenges?
"Why did you do that? I thought you hate me since day 1...

"Brother, I'm scared," the little girl said while hugging the older brother.
"Hey, sweetie, everything's going to be alright, okay? I'm always here for you. I'll protect you," he said. He felt that his little sister hugged him tight. It's like she doesn't want to separate them.
"What they're going to do to us?"
"I don't know; all I know is we're safe from the monster, right? I know that is what you want."
"But I imagine that we're safe with Mommy and Daddy. I-I don't want them...to b-become a...monster." He immediately caressed her back when he saw she started to cry.
"I know that. But think of it that they're safe in someplace, that they will not turn into a monster like what we saw." She slowly nodded her head and smiled because of what her older brother said.
"Right, you're really the best."
"I know, Zelia, always remember that I'm always by your side."
Zelia sat down in her hammock. She felt that she remembered something from the past but couldn't remember if it really happened or not.
She suddenly felt a pain in her forehead; that's why he caressed it to ease the pain. Zelia took a deep breath before she stood up. As far as she knows, she still has a lot to do just so they can decide where Zelia should work.
While she's walking, the girl notices that there are people who are already awake to do their own routine. Zelia saw the Maze door slowly open, and the Runners started running inside.
The way Newt told her everything about the Maze, this is really dangerous. Every night, the path keeps changing, so the Runners return from the start of their job. Still, they don't know how to give up; the Runners are still working out how to get out of this place. Newt added that there are robotic animal-like guards inside the Maze that they call Grievers. Only the Keeper saw it.
"Hey, Zelia." She looked at the person who called her name.
"Hey, Newt, I forgot to mention yesterday that I'm really sorry about what happened. I hope you don't have any broken bones because I punch you on the face." Newt laughed softly at what she said, and they both started to walk where the kitchen is.
"It's alright. I can say that it's normal because we can't remember anything when we arrive here."
"But still, I'm sorry." She saw him shrug his shoulder while smiling and didn't say anything. After that, no one spoke to them until they thanked Fry when they took their food for breakfast and went to the empty seat.
