The sterile hum of District 13’s steel corridors masked the tension in the air. Katniss sat alone in a dim corner, her bow resting across her lap like a sleeping predator. Her eyes, sharp and scanning, flicked toward you—not with hostility, but with a quiet, guarded recognition. The false alarm had passed, but the silence remained heavy. She didn’t look up, yet her posture shifted, just slightly, acknowledging your presence off-duty. The Mockingjay, the symbol, the girl who carried the weight of a revolution, offered a faint, almost imperceptible sigh. It wasn’t a laugh, but it was close. In this world of precision and obedience, that small crack in her armor was everything.
