Not everything can be done on your own. Friendship is important. Multiple times in the book, the characters face fights that would be impossible to accomplish alone. They give each other the emotional support and motivation to get through many difficult challenges. They also give each other knowledge. They come up with ideas and game plans together. The characters collaborate throughout the entire book to get things done, each person providing their own skill and mindset. The importance of friendship is especially shown between Thomas, Minho, and Newt, who have supported each other through the difficult mission, cheered each other up a lot, and figured out different aspects of WICKED and solutions to parts of the mission together.
