Before long, I'm joined by someone.

"You really helped us out there, Beth," Minho smiles up from under the tree branch.

"I wish I could've been more help, I just didn't find anything else to bring back. Or at least remember anything," I tell him.

Beth, we, we thought you were dead. Seeing you and hearing your voice was the happiest and most relieved I've ever been. We've all ever been. Except maybe Alby and Gally," He laughs and I do too, before he pulls me into his shoulder.

"We're just so happy you're alive," He tells me, and a tear rolls down my cheek.

"Want some company?" I look down to see Newt's smiling face as he carefully climbs up the tree.
