1 " You can’t be serious.” Thomas could only nod. Minho’s shoulders slumped, and his eyes fell to the floor. “How did the world get so shucked?” The words barely came out, low and full of pain. “I’m sorry,” Newt said, and there were tears streaming down his face. “I’m … I’m going to shoot if you don’t go. Now. "

2 " He didn’t know which was worse: that Newt seemed to be slipping already or that Minho—the one who should have been able to control himself—was acting like such a slinthead. "
3 " There are no rules. There are no guidelines. "
4 " Forgetting about you was the worst part.” At first, Thomas thought it was another message in his head; he squeezed his fists against his ears. "
5 " Teresa didn’t stop. “Keep talking like that and you’ll be next.” Newt turned back to face them, but his face showed anything but fear. "
6 " WORLD IN CATASTROPHE: KILLZONE EXPERIMENT DEPARTMENT "
7 " Maybe when their minds go, they’re not themselves anymore. Maybe the Newt we know is gone and he’s not aware of what’s happening to him. So really, he’s not suffering.” Minho almost looked offended by the notion. “Nice try, slinthead, but I don’t believe it. I think he’ll always be there just enough to be screaming on the inside, deranged and suffering every shuck second of it. Tormented like a dude buried alive. "
8 " He just said he likes the taste of eyeballs.” This from Frypan. “I think that qualifies as crazy. "
9 " He turned to look just in time to see the rain start falling outside, as if the storm had finally decided to weep with shame for what it had done to them. "
10 " Shuck it,” Minho responded. “I’m tougher than nails. I could still kick your pony-lovin’ butt with twice this pain. "
11 " he wondered if he was doing the right thing sticking with Brenda. But when she started walking, he followed. "
12 " They stood in a vast courtyard several times the size of a football field, surrounded by four enormous walls made of gray stone and covered in spots with thick ivy. The walls had to be hundreds of feet high and formed a perfect square around them, each side split in the exact middle by an opening as tall as the walls themselves that, from what Thomas could see, led to passages and long corridors beyond. "
13 " I don’t think there is a right or wrong anymore,” Thomas said, hearing the numbness in his own voice. He desperately wanted sleep. “Only horrible and not-quite-so-horrible. "
14 " You are one ugly shank. "
15 " And he still has clothes on, which means it couldn’t have burned his skin in too many places. He’ll be fine.” “Yeah, good that,” Newt replied with a sarcastic chuckle. “Remind me not to hire you as my buggin’ doctor anytime soon. "
16 " Dude, you tried to slice my you-know-whats off! "
17 " Oh, man. I’m shucked. I’m shucked for good. "
18 " Dude, you tried to slice my you-know-whats off!” Thomas laughed, something he hadn’t done in a long time. He welcomed it happily. “Too bad I didn’t. Could’ve saved the world from future little Minhos. "
19 " Like the ugliest shanky girl I’ve ever seen,” Minho responded. “You better thank the gods above you were born a dude.” “Thanks. "
20 " So where is it?” Newt asked, leaning forward in his chair. “Over the Cliff,” Thomas answered. “We have to go through the Griever Hole. "
