[ Well, he's glad to see that someone is reacting to a bag of bones and teeth the normal way, but somehow, Newt isn't actually as alarmed by the teeth, if anything, he'd been expecting it to be packed to the brim with bones, so this is a lot better. His attention flickers from both his adventure companions, lingering on Thomas as they exchange a look.

Finally, he steps a little closer, getting a better look, and what alarms him more is the fact that there are knives. This is definitely someone's secret stash, and while he normally wouldn't care about it, he looks up to Majima before shifting slightly to type on his device and hold it up to him and then to Tommy.

Is it safe to leave this here. If whoever left it comes back they'd be right below us with these knives.

[ In Newt's opinion it's all junk, other than the knives, but it feels like something someone left to fall back on. Sure, there's no evidence that whoever left this is even still alive, but if they'd been morbid enough to pry teeth out of hopefully dead bodies or skulls, he doesn't want to know what they'd do to a living person.

Of course, he's making a lot of assumptions, about this person, who was probably a Crank and long dead now anyway. And while he hates to admit it, it unearths a lot of new questions Newt has about this place. Clearly someone had been in here. Were they living in it? Were they using it to travel? Was it something else? Newt's getting vibes off of all of it, but nothing incredibly worse than that creepy mall had given him. At least this time, they know what they're up against.

He lowers his device, watching Thomas type out a message to Majima too. Newt rolls his shoulders, looking back at the door they'd wedged through. Then Tommy's looking to him with the same question, and Newt find himself nodding, even if almost every fibre of his being says that it's a bad idea. Staying out in the Maze during the night had been a bad idea to him too, as had running out into the Scorch, and yet both of them had ended up working out for the best.
