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...

"Everyone, let's go to the Homestead. We have a gathering right now," Alby said after the door of the Maze was close. He didn't look at the Gladers and continued walking towards the Homestead. They didn't complain and just followed the leader.
Minutes have passed; they arrived at their destination. When Kendrix saw Zelia with Newt and Ben, he immediately went to where they are.
"What do you think he'll say to us?" Kendrix asked.
"Maybe about what happened today," Newt said, and Zelia and Ben were quiet on the side, just letting the two talk.
Alby cleared his throat when it started to get louder because of the whispers of the Gladers. They immediately fell silent, and the man took a deep breath before speaking.
"We all both know that this is unexpected, but rules are rules. This is the only right thing to do," Alby started while looking around. Zelia just stood there silently, preventing herself from speaking anything.
"What's the meaning of his last words? Is it possible he really survives on the Maze?" Frypan asked, and the Gladers started whispering again. They were fell silent when they heard loud laughter.
"Oh, I'm sorry if we laugh, but seriously? That's impossible, guys; we all know that. No one can ever survive inside the Maze unless he's really smart, strong enough, and knows how to kill a Grievers," Jim said, so Zelia looked at where he was; he and Stan were next to each other while still laughing.
"Who knows? That's Minho, who spent 2 years running on the Maze," Alby said, and the two fell silent. Stan was about to speak when the leader suddenly spoke again.
"Because of what happened, can you make your own hut for Zelia, Builders? Just to make sure she's still comfortable at the Glade." Zelia looked at Alby, who was now also looking at her. She gave him a smile and didn't argue.
"We can; just give us a day since it's almost evening now; we'll have a hard time working if we insist on finishing today."
"Thanks Gally. You can sleep in my room, Zelia, for a night while waiting to make your own room." The girl just nodded her head and thanked him.

"Should we follow her?" Newt looked next to him when he heard Ben's voice. He didn't notice that it was already close beside him. They were now both looking at the woman walking away after the Gathering.
"Just keep an eye on her. Probably she needs more time, especially since we don't know what really happened yet." Ben nodded slowly. They noticed that the Gladers were gradually returning to what they were doing, so they were left outside the Homestead alone.
