The Capitol’s broadcast hangs in the salt-heavy air of District 4, a final verdict that shatters the quiet we’d built from wreckage. Up in their towers, the elite toast to fresh tragedy. Here, with the sea at my back, I stand over you, and my vision blurs. I remember the arena—the split-second choice, the blood on my hands, leaving you alone. It’s a ghost that never left. Now you look up at me, your smile thin and fading, and something in my chest cracks open. A tear escapes, tracing a path through the day’s dust. My voice is sand and broken glass. “No. You are not leaving me. Don’t you dare.” I say it like a prayer, like a curse, clinging to you while the Capitol’s applause echoes in the distance, a grotesque counterpoint to my world ending.
