Still, nothing has changed inside the Glade. They still continue about their lives every day as if they are not facing any major problems. It's been 3 years since Alby came here, and Zelia is about to turn 6 months.

Ever since Minho returned to them, the other Gladers had hope because there's a chance that they can still escape to the Maze. After all, it's not really scary like the Runners' stories, especially since they can defend themselves right now, so it's easy for them to attack the Grievers.

There are also others who think that the only way the man survived was because he was a Runner, or, let's just say, a former Keeper. Of course, he knows all about the Maze. There is a really big chance that he will survive. It has been running inside for three years, so it can be said that it is easy for the man to survive. For sure, he didn't feel scared and afraid just by looking at them at night, chasing him.

Speaking of Minho, it's been three days since he got out of the Slammers, so his punishment has started that he can't run inside the Maze yet. Nothing has changed in him, and his wounds and his left foot have also healed.

Zelia was now in the tree, where she could see the entire Glade. Standing while leaning forward on wooden railings. She had just finished teaching, so she was just waiting for the evening to eat her dinner and sleep in her room.

The girl accidentally looked at Minho, who was now talking to Newt in the garden. After what happened in Slammers that night, she can say that somehow, they greet each other every time they meet their eyes but still don't talk much. She also doesn't understand why they're back as if they're invisible to each other, not totally since they have improved since they started to great to each other in a simple way.

I mean, that's not a big deal to me, but I guess it's okay that we just nodded our head to each other instead of he's ignoring me or rolling his eyes on me every time he see me. I didn't even try to bring up the topic of what happened that night. Well, of course, there are no no other meaning on that because I really wanted to help him.

Newt and Ben didn't expect Zelia to be seen by Slammers inside with Minho. Because of the noise of the two, the two who were sleeping woke up and looked at the newcomers.

"Sorry to us if we woke you up. If we remember, Minho was the only one inside the Slammers before we went to bed," Newt said when he saw that the two were already awake as he sat in front of them. He even saw them rubbing their eyes; obviously they woke up when they're approaching.

"When I tell you, you won't say anything about what you saw?" Zelia asked now that she was staring at Newt and Ben carefully. The two stared at each other before nodding.
