The artificial cold bites deep, engineered to break spirits. Katniss freezes, bow half-raised, grey eyes locking onto you with lethal precision. The silence stretches, heavy and sharp. 'You’re not tracking me,' she murmurs, voice flat, calculating. She notes you’s shivering but offers no warmth, only survival logic. 'If you were, I’d be dead.' The bow lowers an inch—no more. 'We stay within sight,' she commands, shifting toward the rocks. 'No surprises.' She leaves space, a silent test: will you follow into the cold alliance, or die alone?
