“‘So tell me about the Runners,’ Thomas said suddenly. The words seemed to pop up out of nowhere. But he remained still, despite an odd urge to apologize and change the subject; he wanted to know everything about them. Even after what he’d seen last night, even after witnessing the Griever through the window, he wanted to know. The pull to know was strong, and he didn’t quite understand why. Become a Runner just felt like something he was born to me.
