## History

### Before The Maze

Before they were in the maze together, Kyle came from a city in district 3. Kyle and Acho are from the same place and knew each other before the maze, so Kyle tries to protect them to the best of his ability. He and Acho were always very close to each other, enough for Acho to confide in him about their home life and their rough relationship with their father. After Acho told Kyle about this, Kyle took matters into his own hands. He went to Acho's home and tried to talk to their father, and he tried to attack Kyle with a knife. Kyle killed him in self defense and got put into the maze.

#### **Entering Clearing A**

Kyle came up in the elevator with Acho within the maze. They immediately started to make their way through the maze, before arriving in the first clearing. Due to coming up in the elevator with Acho, Kyle sees himself as their protector and he wants to keep him safe. Since arriving in the clearing, he has been trying his best to navigate it all while trying to figure out a way to escape the maze with Acho by his side.

When Acho's life had been put on the line by Krow, Kyle was really upset. This led him to trapping Krow in prison, as it had hurt Acho and it had put Magic in danger as well, and Kyle believed that it was dangerous. He kept Krow in prison for some time before it broke out, but it is worth noting that Kyle moved past this and forgave Krow in order to be a better leader, at least before the finale.

After watching Squidney die in front of his eyes and having to deal with the loss of Mohwee as well as what happened to Acho and Magic, Kyle has been desperate to protect everyone else, even going so far as to risk his own life to ensure the safety of those he cares about and getting trapped in the dark maze while doing so. With Owen giving up as leader, Kyle has just been pushed further to do whatever he can to help others. He's taking over as leader from Owen, and takes this role very seriously.

### **The Dark Maze**

On March 26, 2022, Kyle entered the dark maze in hopes of finding a way out. When inside the maze, he was presumably attacked by the Griever and has a lucid dream. While dreaming, Kyle talks to the voice in his head who highlights his flaws and the things he's done, especially noting the loneliness Kyle feels and the other feelings he's been pushing away in order to be a good leader.

A few months later, he finds the entrance back into the clearing and escapes into it. He explains why he was in there to Acho and Magic, calling himself selfish. Krow, interrupting the conversation, agrees with him. The rest of the stream is spent with Kyle and Krow interacting (mostly negatively) with Acho and Magic caught in the crossfire. Kyle says he has forgiven Krow and wants to move on, while Krow insists that he shouldn't forgive it and doing so was "really really stupid". It also exclaims that he shouldn't accept or forgive it at all, implying that Krow doesn't forgive itself.

### Escaping The Maze

When the few Outsiders that were left alive had made their way through The Dark Maze, they had found their way to a new area. After making their way through the first room, they arrived In the Mesa area, in which Kyle had volunteered to open the chests that they had found by himself, as they were worried they would be trapped chests. After making their way through the Mesa and the Desert, they then they made their way to the Library. Kyle went to check on Soup when she had wandered off, before returning to the group. He and Graecie comforted Acho and they found a few other chests with the Outsiders' names on them but they were soon unfortunately cornered and had to leave by entering the water cave. In the water cave, Kyle expressed concern for Acho and tried his best to protect them, trying to help them out of the water when they realized how dangerous it was. When they reached the Playground Room, the group all argued and tried to come to a conclusion on who would sacrifice themself and, though Magic offered, Soup sacrificed herself, letting everyone else escape. They found their way through another room, the Mushroom Room, and Krow had helped them get into the Memory Room. It put its hand on the machine and got its memories back. It then tried to attack Acho but Kyle jumped in front of him to protect them from Krow. Kyle unfortunately died from the attack, but not before putting his hand on the machine to show his memories to everyone else. His last moments where he was seen alive were spent in Acho's arms before they were restrained and forced to leave.

## Quotes

'We all have a place to call home outside of these walls. And we're gonna see it soon."

“We can't stay in the past if we want to have a future outside of these walls!”

“I’ve gotta save you, one last time.” Kyle's last words in Acho's arms.

“There’s no such thing as a mistake when you’re tampering with potions, when you know it would change the outcome.” Kyle to Krow after putting it in the prison.
