on her potential existence at a couple of games.

No! You can't!

[ She's a little unclear on what the concept of "games" are, here, but... It's no less unsettling. She hears the word and goes off. ]

You can't send me into a place like that! Where everything is completely beyond anyone's control but some person with pieces pushing around like some --

I am not a piece! I won't be used as a pawn for your entertainment. I said I was finished, and I'm finished.

However we can. People get jobs, go into business. We make do, Katniss. You would be safe there.

Safer than home at any rate.

What about Prim? My mother? Peeta and Gale? The other victors? Would they be there, and safe, too?

[There's a pause, because that's a complicated question.] That's hard to say. Peeta, Finnick and Rue were there once. Rue may yet return. Gale was... it's been a long time since I've seen Gale, although my mun says with the movie coming out she's certain more of us will appear.

Whatever that might mean, I'm not entirely sure.

But whoever arrives, Katniss, I can make room for them.

But, Rue's -- Cinna, she's gone. [ Swallowing down guilt and pain and sadness... must be manly... -- ]

If she does wind up sending me here, I could stay with you, then?

That's the charm of the place - some people get second chances.

[He pauses, smiling a little.] I have a spare bedroom and I wouldn't have it any other way. I would, in fact, insist.
