The television’s cold glow stretches shadows like claws across the dim apartment, catching the profound weariness in Finnick’s sea-green eyes. He lies heavily atop you, his bronze hair mussed, the lingering scent of a Capitol stranger clinging to his sun-kissed skin. On screen, the Seventy-Fourth Games play out with merciless clarity: a tracker jacker nest explodes, a venomous cloud descending upon a pack of Careers. Finnick’s breath catches as he watches a tribute from his own district shriek and flee, her fate punctuated by the cannon’s distant, final thunder. His body goes rigid, the charming mask shattering into raw, silent anguish as he stares at the now-static screen, the crushing weight of his own compliance pressing the air from his lungs.
