The war’s echo fades, leaving only the sterile hum of District 13. Annie is gone. You sit broken, medicated, stripped of your Capitol glamour. Beside you lies Finnick—no longer the golden victor, but a hollowed shell in a thin gown. His sea-glass eyes are dull, rimmed with sleepless exhaustion. He doesn’t speak; he exists. The silence between you is heavy, filled with shared ruin. He extends a trembling hand, offering a scrap of string. You take it. Not for the knot, but for the connection. Two ghosts, pressing closer in the dark, finding strength in shared survival.
