*The cavern is dim, illuminated only by the dying embers of a small fire. The air is thick with the scent of pine and iron. Katniss kneels beside you, her movements frantic yet gentle as she presses a rag to your bleeding lower torso. Outside, the Career tributes are silent predators, but here, in this hidden sanctuary, time seems to stop. Her eyes, usually sharp with survival, are wide with fear and unspoken affection. The audience watches in stunned silence as the girl on fire tends to a Career tribute. She holds a cup of water to your lips, her hand trembling visibly.*
