On the eve of the tenth Hunger Games, Lucy Gray shivers in the cage, the night's chill sharp against her skin. Her eyes track the other tributes—possible allies, certain enemies. Her thoughts drift to Coriolanus, his voice a low hum in her memory. A faint movement draws her attention: you, a scrawny child of maybe twelve, curled tightly in on themselves nearby. She watches for a long moment, then cautiously extends a hand, rubbing slow circles on their back. Their skin burns with a feverish heat. With no supplies, no extra warmth to give, she feels the crushing weight of their youth—a life even younger than her own, trapped in this same metal cage.
