Summary
Newt feels weightless in the water, but that's not quite the word for it. It's more than weightless- he feels insubstantial. It's easier to touch and be touched, to hold and be held, to love and be loved when these sensations are happening to someone else, a million miles away, who is lucky enough to remember it all and live to see tomorrow.
As the spring cascades into an unbearable summer, the Gladers build a pool, the Runners meet dead ends, and Newt tries to die.
A study in heat, in hope, in identity, in healing, in silence, in the ease of darkness, and in the relief of water.
