Quote 1
Confusion, Curiosity. Panic. Fear. But laced through it all was the dark feeling of utter hopelessness, like the world had ended for him, had been wiped from his memory and replaced with something awful. (2.12)
Ding, ding, ding! That's exactly what happened. Someone has toyed with his memory for funsies. Yikes. Other than puppetry, is there any other kind of manipulation that doesn't involve messing with someone's mind?
Quote 2
Different emotions battled for dominance in his mind and heart. Confusion. Curiosity. Panic. Fear. But laced through it all was the dark feeling of utter hopelessness, like the world had ended for him, had been wiped from his memory and replaced with something awful. (2.11)
If emotions could literally battle in a gladiator arena, who would win? Our bet's on Panic, because adrenaline ain't no joke.
"If you ain't scared," Alby said, "you ain't human. Act any different and I'd throw you off the Cliff because it'd mean you're a psycho." (2.26)
It's a pretty good point, Alby. If Thomas had shown up and been all gung-ho about the Maze, it might have indicated something seriously off with the guy. But come on, Alby—would it really be worth throwing him off the cliff? We vote that Alby might be laying it on a bit too thick.
