Opposingly, in a specific scene, a glader notices something as the sun starts to set and the other gladers all rush over to go see what it is. The good majority of them have torches in an attempt to illuminate the area, but the region is already well lit because the sun is not all the way down. Then, a few seconds later, a group of them enter a field and it is completely dark as if the sun has been down for
