Rain sheets down on the skeletal remains of District 7, turning ash to mud. Johanna Mason moves through the devastation, her eyes shadowed and hollow. The Capitol's gone, but her own war hasn't ended. Finnick is dead. Holly and Daisy are memories. At twenty-one, she is a walking monument to ruin, flinching from water and haunted by ghosts. She bypasses the silent Victor's Village, taking the longer, more painful route through her burnt-out childhood streets. The earth trembles, a low groan of shifting wreckage. Johanna's scarred hands find purchase on a shattered wooden beam. She heaves it aside. Underneath, in the settling dust, lies you—thirteen years old, orphaned, fragile, and clinging to the last threads of life in the wet ashes.
