Oh.

I'm back. Was fading, hiding in your head, but I'm back.

I'm sorry.

Sorry you have to see me again. Know it's better without me, always is. [She giggles.]

Maybe... maybe this time, there will be more.

Sorry. Shouldn't- should just stop talking.

Do I still have Little Fish? Or is he gone now, too, and I'm back to the beginning? All alone again?

Maybe... Maybe it depends. Know I'm different. Mad. Crazy. Waste of a victor. Waste of a muse.

Sorry.

[She remembered that. Peeta, lashing out, trying to threaten Finnick by using her. She remembered they had been close. Speaking through walls in their cells while they'd been held that long while in the Capitol. Annie had been there when they'd dragged Peeta in. They'd had her since the reaping.]

That's... No, that's wrong, Peeta.

Am a waste. Waste of a Victor. They all said it. Can't celebrate someone who went mad. Who tells the truth when they try to hide it all. Who says how bad it is, how they hate it. They don't want to hear it.

Then you and I are in the same boat.

[The flicker of something crosses his expression, almost like a smile. He's not so far gone that he can't tell people hate talking to him now. See him as dangerous. Unpredictable. A long time ago, it used to matter so much that he always said the right thing, always tried to see where the other person was coming from.

Maybe the problem is that he sees too well. He's disposable to all of them. Any favour they ever extended him has only been because of her. But he can't extend that resentment to Annie, who has never done anything to him. Whose mind is broken, just like his.]

Although... I don't think I frosted that giant cake for nothing. Plutarch said it was the biggest party District 13's ever seen. Who were they celebrating, if not you?

[anniesgonemad]

Were celebrating a celebration, [She admits bitterly, rubbing at her hands.] For the propos. It was... a lovely, beautiful cake. Lovely wedding. [Something she never thought she would get. Though she could imagine the backlash in some of the Districts, in the Capitol... All of Finnick's lovers...]

Don't think 13 sees many parties.
