![]() ![]() ![]() After it stops, the door to the common room creaks ajar, revealing that the lights have been turned off again. Thomas’s only says ‘To be killed by Group B’.Īt this moment a loud bell starts clanging. As they look around, the boys realize that each of them has a label, seemingly designating them various roles. The tattoo says that he is property of WICKED, the larger organization running these experiments, and that he is ‘The Partner’. They spot a tattoo on Aris’s neck that the boy swears wasn’t there last night. Aris also has telepathic speech, and he and Thomas realize they can communicate with each other in this way. The group talks to Aris and finds out that, like Teresa, Aris had been the ‘Trigger’ in his Maze experiment, and had been the last person and only boy in a group of all girls. Thomas checks everything out by himself, lost in confusion, and wonders if their memories have been altered or wiped again. Minho, who left for a bit, comes back to inform them that he has checked out the whole area, and there are no more doors or exits. Aris also claims to have come from the Maze, or a Maze, but none of the Gladers has ever met him before.Īris and the Gladers sit down to talk for a bit. However, a boy walks out instead, saying that his name is Aris. Breaking in, the boys hear the sound of a toilet and wait for Teresa to come out. He finds a sign on the door that labels Teresa, mysteriously, as ‘The Betrayer’. Thomas finds a yellow door from this common room that he thinks leads to Teresa’s sleeping area. After turning on the lights, they see the dead bodies of their rescuers hanging from the ceiling. Thomas does not feel good about this, but the boys still check out the gloom on the other side. Finally, using a fire extinguisher, Newt is able to break through a door. Minho and Newt attempt to open several of the doors that lead out, such as into a common room they had just used the night before, but everything is locked. Minho informs Thomas that these Cranks are everywhere, and that there are no signs of their rescuers. Steel bars still stand in the way between the Crank and the boys. ![]() The man says that he is a ‘Crank’, and starts screaming at the boys to kill him. ![]() A window to the room has been broken, where a bleeding, zombie-like man is standing, his eyes filled with madness. The other boys are up and about, and commotion is rampant. Teresa’s telepathy is suddenly torn from him. As Thomas tries with difficulty to wake up, he hears screaming. Suddenly, Teresa tells Thomas that something is wrong. His dream-mother implies that his parents will go insane soon. He is with his hypothetical parents, who are upset that “they” have “chosen” Thomas. In this dream, a flashback-style story, Thomas is only four or five. After chatting for a bit, Thomas slips back into a dream. Teresa is separated from the rest of the group, all of whom are teenage boys. He realizes where he is, and realizes that the voice is Teresa again, with whom he shared a telepathic link even before they escaped the Maze. For a moment he is afraid that he is in the terrible Box again, the contraption that delivered him to the Maze. Thomas hears a girl speaking to him through his head as he is in bed. After escaping the Maze, Thomas and his peers are sleeping in a dormitory-style setting, having been placed there by their rescuers. ![]()
