If I'm in Hell, maybe that's where I should be.

But you -- you do not let me convince my daughter that she belongs there too. No matter how much I want to see her again.

You're brave just to be alive.

Look at you. It's been years.

[ Hell of an accomplishment: staying alive that long. ]

[tributed]

[ There were so many times she almost didn't. She almost gave up. ]

Prim needed me.

[ Prim... ]

I... couldn't even do that...

[neverdeen]

[ And now: no you did the best you could.

He pulls her back, and lifts her chin and looks into her eyes. ]

You can tell me.

[tributed]

[ Because she knows she didn't. ]

She's dead. I didn't protect her.

[neverdeen]

The whole story, Katniss.

[tributed]

That's.... a long story, Dad.

[neverdeen]

Then tell me what I need to know.

[tributed]

...

She got picked for the Hunger Games, so I went in for her. I won, but I helped start a revolution. I didn't mean to. She died during it... trying to provide help to people in need.

[neverdeen]

So you got used. By a whole lot of people who had no business doing that.

[tributed]

I thought if I let it happen then I could protect everyone.

[neverdeen]

And you couldn't?

Because you can't. You can't protect everyone. No one can.
