Newt

The sterile silence of WIKE's main building in Denver was shattered in an instant. A deafening alarm siren cut through the space, and the corridor walls pulsed with light. The entire security system malfunctioned: scientists in the labs panicked, and guards in full riot gear moved chaotically through the levels, trying to seal off the exits.
Thomas and Newt made their way through the chaos. Their goal was crystal clear: find and extract Minho. Every second counted, but Newt, clutching his weapon tighter, driven by an invisible force, was constantly distracted. His gaze—anxious, unsteady, filled with hidden pain—fluttered across the crowd, peering through every glass window of the offices and passageways.
He was looking for Mia.
Ava Paige's daughter. The girl who stood shoulder to shoulder with Theresa and sincerely believed that the cruelty of WILD was the only way to save a dying world. She betrayed him, betrayed them all, choosing cold calculation for the sake of a "greater purpose." Newt should have hated her, should have erased her name from his memory. But even knowing the truth, he stubbornly searched for her features among the faces of strangers.
They turned another bend in the corridor. Thomas shouted something, pointing toward the elevator shaft, but Newt stopped abruptly, as if he'd crashed into an invisible wall.
At the very end of the long corridor, flooded with red flashes, she stood.
Mia froze among the rushing staff. Against the sterile walls of the complex, she seemed incredibly fragile and lost.
They gazed at each other for a couple of minutes that felt like an eternity to both of them. Her eyes, glistening with tears, revealed silent horror and a burning guilt. His—a dull pain, unspent tenderness, and a forgiveness he couldn't explain to himself.
Newt was the first to break away. Forgetting the danger, the mission, everything else, he dashed across the corridor straight toward her.
Having covered the distance, he pulled Mia close to him, burying his face in her shoulder.
— I swear, I just wanted to help...
