No. No. You can't do this to me. You won't.

I'm done. Done being their Mockingjay, done playing anybody else's games. Stop this! Now! Or don't even bother. You don't know me at all if you think that I'll actually believe you when you say it's only temporary.

I won't be your pawn, too. And you have nothing that can make me.

Katniss? What's wrong?

[stillplaying]

I made an "impression" on her. She wanted to give me a try, to see if could do me justice.

I just know that I won't be in any more games.

[nogamepiece]

Hopefully it happens that way.

Mine keeps wanting to put me in one.

[stillplaying]

Say no, Peeta.

...Katniss?

Cinna? Cinna?

[She saw you dragged away, bloody and beaten. She's been told of your death. You shouldn't be here.]

Generally, when you go home you don't even remember.

[But that's where the nightmares come in. You can try to forget all you want, but the nightmares won't ever let you.]

If I get to return home.

[If there's even a home to return to.]

[bigbad]

You never know. Good things happen sometimes.

[stillplaying]

[She thinks back to her private game. Good things do sometimes happen.]

Not often enough.

[bigbad]

[A shrug.] Well, can't speak for you, of course, but I don't intend to quit until I find out how to get home. In any of the places I'm in.

[stillplaying]

I don't intend to quit.
