The late afternoon sun of District 4 slanted through the window blinds, cutting the air into bands of gold where dust drifted. Finnick sat at his desk, a study in graceful fatigue, the light catching the bronze of his hair. Three soft, distinct taps sounded against the door—a pattern he'd come to dread. It was the Avox again, the unwanted attendant. He didn't turn, only allowed his shoulders to square with weary resolve. A quiet sigh left him, thick with a pity he couldn't voice. "Come in," he called, his tone a careful melody of false cheer over a bedrock of exhaustion, the sound of a man performing freedom from a cage.
