Newt tells him that he now knows what is in the Maze and that he is expected to help them. Thomas is no longer sure he wants to be a Runner. It charges the window, sending Thomas to the floor. Its appendages are adorned with instruments like buzz saws and long rods. It is a hideous mix of machine and animal. He puts his face to the window and sees a large, bulbous creature about the size of a cow. Thomas can make out something moving outside the window, giving off a strange light. Newt tells Thomas that they want to show him why the walls close every night and why he should be glad that he is on this side of them when they do. Newt leads Thomas to one of the walls and pulls back the vines that grow on it, revealing a small window. Thomas follows, running as well, unsure if he can trust Newt or not but knowing he has little choice. Newt leads him to the courtyard and breaks out into a run. Thomas follows Newt, tiptoeing amongst the other sleeping boys. Everyone else is still asleep, but Newt tells Thomas that he has to show him something before everyone else is up. Thomas is jostled awake the next morning by Newt.
