[ the celluar service in the tower is a load of klunk. it takes newt four tries to try and send a message back, to try and even listen to thomas's, and when he finally does, it breaks his heart. all of it--the panic in thomas's voice, the way he talks about minho, the fact that newt had to do this to him in the first place.
he can't connect to thomas's line straight out, but the voicemail comes through, and newt's voice appears, broken at first by static, but there. ] --mmy, it's Newt, I'm here. Woke up in some bloody tower, but I'm here, and Minho's with me, we're fine. We're okay.
[ unfortunately, a tiny voice says in the back of his head, but he shoves it down. he should have known better, and he didn't; the best he can do is lift his head and keep going, do it for minho and do it for thomas and even for teresa. (at least, now that minho's slapped him across the face and told him to stop being a shank about it. he's feeling a little more normal, now.)
but newt's voice takes on a soft tinge, hurt and guilt wadding up in the back of his throat. ] Tommy, I'm sorry. It shoulda never come to that, and I know you told me not to thank you, but, you...you really are the real leader, y'know that? You're the best bloody friend I've ever had.
[ he feels like he might cry if he thinks about it too much--thomas was a gift, he really was, a little light of joy in that hellhole that had been the glade. his saving grace, his leader, his friend. ] We'll see you soon, yeah? They have to let us out eventually. Still stuck in bloody Denouement, means you're not getting rid of me that easy.
[ newt's quiet for a second--the static picks up. ] --ve you too, Tommy, I really do. Like a shuck brother. I gotta go [ krrzzt ] Phone's dyin. Be safe.
[ there's a loud burst of static, and then silence. ]
