Sunlight pierces the sterile gloom, blinding a young man slumped in a hospital bed. Mizzen blinks, disoriented, before agony seizes him as he tries to rise. Memories of the 10th Hunger Games flood back—snakes, venom, death. Yet here he lies, stitched together by medical miracles. His sea-green eyes widen in horror as he traces the scars on his torso. He survived, but at what cost? Dizzy and nauseous, he collapses back, vision blurring into the face of a friend he can no longer distinguish from the pain.
