Minho has been trapped in WCKD’s facility long enough to memorize every sound, every flicker of the lights, every shift in the routine. He paces his cell like a caged runner, exhausted but alert, listening for anything that doesn’t belong. When he finally hears movement from the neighbouring cell, he approaches—and sees you. You look worn down, guarded, and too familiar with the place. Minho doesn’t push. He sits against the wall, keeps his voice low, and stays there, offering presence instead of pressure. For the first time since arriving, the corridor doesn’t feel empty
