Newt has been to hell and back with his friends.
The Glade.
The Maze.
The Scorch.
The inner halls of WICKED.
But now he has a burden that can't be shared with Thomas and the others--the Flare.
And Newt can't bear the thought of his friends watching him descend into madness as he succumbs to the virus.
Leaving only a note, Newt departs the Berg before the Gladers return from their mission into Denver, Colorado.
From there, he experiences the gritty nightmare of life on the streets,.
