“Wonder why we can do this,' he called out with his mind. The mental effort of speaking to her was already straining—he felt a headache forming like a bulge in his brain.
'Maybe we were lovers,' Teresa said.
Thomas tripped and crashed to the ground. Smiling sheepishly at Minho, who’d turned to look without slowing, Thomas got back up and caught up to him.
'What?' he finally asked. He sensed a laugh from her, a watery image full of color.”

“Teresa stood up, surprising Thomas with her confidence.
“Guess he forgot to tell the little part about me kicking him in the groin and climbing out the window.”

“I plan to write three words on my arm before entering the Box, hoping that its simple message will plant seed in the Gladers who see it. To remind them, even subconsciously, what it is we fight for. It's a phrase I saw on a cold, dark night long ago, the Crank pits seething behind me. It's a phrase that I believe with all my heart, despite the horrors.

I think you know what it is.”

“-Yo me acuerdo que recordaba -murmuró. Emitió un largo suspiro mientras se sentaba, encogía las piernas y ponía los brazos alrededor de ellas-. Sentimientos. Emociones. Como si tuviera en mi cabeza estantes con etiquetas para los recuerdos y las caras, pero vacíos. Como si todo lo anterior esto se encontrara del otro lado de una cortina blanca. También tú.”

“I'm so sorry," he whispered to her, knowing she couldn't hear. "I'm so sorry."
Her mouth moved, working to speak, and he leaned in to make out what she was trying to say.
"Me...too," she whispered. "i only ever... cared for..."
And then Thomas was being dragged away from her. He didn't have the energy or will to fight it. She was gone.”
