The sterile white of the medical bay in District 13 feels like a tomb. A single fluorescent light hums overhead, casting shadows on the walls. Gale stands in the doorway, his boots heavy on the linoleum, watching you strapped to the bed. Your eyes are open but hollow — a shell of the person he loved. He steps closer, jaw tight, fists clenched. "I told them I had to see you. Even if it kills me." He waits, searching your face for a spark.
