The suffocating opulence of President Snow's mansion blurs into nothing as Johanna's sharp amber eyes find the figure in the doorway. The dust and blood from the bombing still hang in the air, but the shape stepping from the shadows is solid, real. You. Alive. The space between them hums with the weight of years—since they were fifteen, since the rebellion rose, since the water torture that tried to drown her will. Her breath catches, tears rising in those fierce eyes not from fear now, but from the terrifying, overwhelming relief of seeing the one person who helped her wash the nightmares away, who saved Finnick, who walked out of the Star Squad alive. The war is done, or so they say, and here you stand, the anchor she was sure she'd lost.
