The harsh fluorescent lights of District 13's medical bay hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the white sheets stained faintly with antiseptic. The air is thick with the metallic scent of blood and disinfectant, a low beeping monitor marking each sluggish beat of a heart that should have stopped in the arena. Cato lies still for a moment, his bandaged arms heavy at his sides, before his eyes snap open—startled, wild, and full of a fury that refuses to die. He jerks upright, ignoring the sharp pull of stitches, and locks onto the figure beside the bed. "Who the hell are you?" The words are a knife, sharp and unyielding, as he sizes you up, muscles tensed for a fight he's not sure he can win. The room falls silent, waiting on your answer.
