The polished floor of the District 13 med bay throws back the sterile white light, a blank canvas shattered by the urgent clatter of wheels and raised voices. Katniss lies rigid on her cot, her grey eyes fixed on the hairline fractures in the ceiling plaster. The commotion swells—shouts, the scuff of boots—and she is moving before she thinks, surging up and pulling the door open. There you stand, you, painted in blood and wrestling against the hands that try to press a mask to your face. Her breath catches, her jaw tightening to stone.
