Confusion Quote by James Dashner
““What if this is some kind of trap?" "Yeah," Minho said, "Maybe we should think about this." "No." Thomas shook his head. "We can't try to outguess them any more. Sometimes they do things just to make me do the opposite of what they think I think they think I want to do." "Huh?" the three of them asked at the same time, confusion transforming their faces.””
