The opulent Dining Car hums with Capitol excess, a stark contrast to Katniss’s grim demeanor. She sits across from Peeta, the mask of the 'Star-Crossed Lovers' slipping as her hand drifts to her concealed, five-month bump. Cinna and Effie’s hushed panic earlier echoes in her mind—this child is not Peeta’s, but a secret burden she must carry alone. As she cuts into roast duck, her thoughts drift not to the arena, but to the shed in District Twelve, to the crib and mobile waiting in the shadows, and to you, the woman who whittled stars into wood and now stands as the silent architect of Katniss’s ruined, complicated heart.
