Ava Pai-- We've never even seen Ava Paige, and Teresa-- [ is dead. pushed him out of the way to save his life when he's the last of all of them to deserve it, and her dying words were about caring for him. as much as he could hear, at least. they'd left her there, in the rubble, like he'd left newt in Denver, and left Chuck on the floor of the lab outside the Maze. but teresa, that's still fresh. not even an hour ago. not even twenty minutes ago. he feels his throat seize up, his chest feeling like it's caving in, and his eyes sting. it's honestly a good thing he has his back turned away from newt, because his features contort in a painful way, trying to crush all of that down. not the time. not now, not when they're still in the shit, and he's not even sure who or what he's actually talking to. as much as he hates thinking about newt that way. ]
What d'you mean, 'took Minho'? Who did? Took him where?
[ maybe it's the other way. maybe newt knows more than him. maybe something happened when they got to the safe haven, and it's his memory that's all shucked now. it wouldn't be the first time. he's still rolling it around in his head as newt motions him to sit, finding a log to settle down, back to his friend. when did he see him again? well. ] I went back to the compound. Told Rat Man I'd go along with his crap to finish the blueprint. Turns out that mean carving my shuck brain out of my skull. [ hahhhaha yeah that was fun. anyway. ] Minho, Teresa, Fry and the kids from Group B went in with the Right Arm when WICKED was taking in a bunch of Munies. And wouldn't you freakin' know it, Vince decided he cared more about his shuck revenge than saving the 500 Immune he sent in as decoys. Slinthead. That's from a Griever that woke up while we were trying to get out.
[ thomas snorts, nodding, before he starts to peel at his shirt to carefully take it off. ] Ava Paige saved me from getting carved up like a pumpkin and left me some maps to get the Immune to a Flat Trans that'd take us to an actual haven. I saw it, Newt. It was like nothing ever went wrong. Just trees and mountains and ocean for miles. [ it was beautiful. if only it had been true. ] Anyway, Vince started setting off explosions like a whacker, the rest of us lead the rest of the Immune to the Flat Trans, ran into Jansen right before everyone got through, and there was a fight.
[ he pauses, mind still reeling through all that happened, and there's definitely some key details left out, but-- ] I killed him. [ that's the important part. ]

Dunno if that's more. Definitely 'different'.
