Summary
Sometimes – not often, but sometimes – she locks all the doors, closes the blinds, turns the radio to static, closes her eyes, and looks for them.

Summary
Katniss turned back to her family when her mother's hands fell away. “I'm ready, little duck.”
“Okay.” Prim raised the borrowed camera.
Though Katniss stared beyond the lens, at the soft curve of her sister's cheek. She willed herself to allow the sight to melt her a little bit, at least until her edges weren't so sharp, capable of causing so much pain to the people surrounding her—a click, a flash, a blink of her stinging eyes, and she began the long wait for her life to change.

A catastrophic environmental event out of District 13 has darkened the skies—and such events in this world have always harmed women and children first. Faced with a population crisis, Panem turns to the women of District 12, who have survival and fertility rates far exceeding the average of all of the other districts—which only feeds into the perception and punishment that District 12's coal mines were the true cause of the atmosphere's ruin. Katniss is resistant to signing up for these "marriage boards" of richer men seeking to take advantage of poorer women, until Prim's declining health forces her hand in hopes of a future for her little sister.

Summary
I wore my father's old hunting jacket. Somehow that had made it through everything. The jacket, the cat, the locket, the pearl. And Peeta and I. We'd survived everything the Capitol and Thirteen had thrown at us, and all that was left was the question: what next?

Summary
Jamie has never been particularly good at science, but he doesn’t think time loops are supposed to be normal, or, like, even possible. He wonders, vaguely, whether he’s maybe lost his head. Too many hits, too many rough tackles, something like that. Maybe he’s lost his shit, and none of this is really happening.
That might actually be the better option.
