Minho
[*backdated to the day Newt showed up*]
I'm gonna see if the house next door is empty. I think Newt needs some space from me right now.
[Brenda]
I'm gonna go for a walk, see what I can find. Wanna come with me?
[Spam for Newt]
[He avoids his friend for the better part of a week after he arrives. When he hears his familiar voice, he wants to talk to him, wants to ask him how he is, but he doesn't. Instead, he respects Newt's desire for space, and quietly closes himself into the nearest room, or slips out the front door when no one is looking.
They went through this once before, back in Dark City. But Newt doesn't remember it. Thomas unfortunately does. The days drag on and he spends his time with Brenda or Chuck, occasionally talking to Minho and Mackenzie when Newt isn't around. It hurts, but it's a necessity.
He's sitting at the table early in the morning, before daylight has fully broken, eating a bowl of Cheerios alone when he hears footsteps approaching. He expects to look up and see Brenda, but his stomach turns when he sees Newt instead.]
