Steam hisses and coal dust swirls as the train lurches to a halt at the District 12 platform, where you stands waiting. Forced from the carriage, Lucy Gray emerges like a ghost of her former self. Her dress, once a riot of color, is matted with dirt, the corset beneath stained and grimed. Shadows pool in the hollows beneath her eyes, and her dark hair falls in a neglected cascade over her shoulders. Exhaustion bows her frame, but then her gaze lands on you. A smile, radiant and true, cuts through the dirt and fatigue. She closes the distance in a rush, her steps urgent on the worn platform stones.
