They call us Cranks! But I say that they are the monsters. I may not be pretty, but we all know who the enemies are, cowering behind those walls! They have a name for people like us in there. Do you know what I am, Thomas? I am a businessman, which means that I don't take unnecessary risks.The only question is, who will be the ones left standing? And thanks to you, to this, we finally get to choose. In time, the Flare virus will burn itself out. Of course, there's not gonna be enough for everyone. And in return, you will give life to the rest of us. And the whole world might be sinking, but it doesn't mean that we have to go down with it. Do you know what this place is, Thomas? It's a lifeboat.I guess that's WCKD's answer for everything. If that city is still standing, that's the last place you wanna go, hermano. It's been a few years, but– I've been there.
I didn't think there were any cities left.And I know you'll find a way to do what's right. And my hope for you is when you're looking back years from now, you'll be able to say the same. If I could do it all over again, I would. But from that moment you ran into the Maze, I knew I would follow you anywhere. I remember the first time you came up in the Box, just a scared little Greenie who couldn't even remember his own name. I never thought I'd miss that stuff so much. And I remember the taste of Frypan's stew. Just the little things like where the sun used to hit the Glade at that perfect moment right before it slipped beneath the walls. And I just repeat them over and over like a prayer, and it– and it all comes flooding back. So every night, I've been saying their names out loud. It's losing myself to this virus, that's what scares me. But even if it's not my first, it's likely to be my last. Obviously, I don't know if I wrote any before the Maze. Dear Thomas, this is the first letter I can remember writing.Spent three years trapped behind walls, trying to break out, and now we wanna break back in. Well, you'll need all the help you can get then, won't you? Well, we started this together.If we find a cure, that's the only way all of this was worth it. Look, even if we find Minho, there's no guarantee we'll make it back from this.
