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...

"Hey, Zee." A boy who thought he was about 9 years old greeted when he saw a girl who he thought was about 7 years old awake.
The girl suddenly smiled when she saw who it was. "Thomas."
Thomas helped her to sit on her bed. She just looked around. They are in a room that is not that big; there are two beds, the walls and ceiling are grey, there are metal doors in front, and there are also two small drawers next to the beds.
"Is it true that we're really safe here?" Zelia asked. Is she tripping her own eyes or what she saw was true when she noticed sadness in Thomas's eyes, but it immediately disappeared, and he smiled at her.
"Of course! You saw the kids our same age, didn't you? It means we're not the only two here. We're safe from the monsters." Hearing this, Zelia smiled and hugged the man tightly.
"You are really the best brother in the world." She heard Thomas laugh softly, and he hugged her back.
"I know I'm always the best."
The memory shifted, the grey room dissolving, and suddenly she was older, maybe twelve. Zelia is on the roof, but another young man is with her. Instead of Thomas, who's talking to her, the guy looks like an Asian. She thinks that he and her older brother are the same age.
"You really won't stop talking to me?" The young man asked as he just looked in front of him where the city lights could be seen.
"Nope! You're the only one who isn't my friend here. I've talked to Newt, Tucker, Sonya, Kendrix, Harriet, Rachel, everyone here. Why are you avoiding me? Thomas won't hurt you anyway," Zelia said, looking at the young man while poking his arm.
He rolled his eyes, but he just let the girl do what she was doing while still looking straight ahead. "He looks intimidating though; I think if I speak to you, he's ready to punch me. I guess your brother has a grudge against me."
Zelia laughed softly, causing the man's heart to beat faster. He tried his best not to show it, and he just wished that his companion didn't notice it somehow.
"Minho, that's just how Thomas is, but he doesn't just punch you for no reason. For sure, he just doesn't want to show it to you, but he also wants to be your friend."
Minho felt strange when he heard how Zelia said his name. He combed his hair using his left hand to calm himself and looked at her as his heart sank even more. She was smiling at him while still looking at him.
