The cabin door swings open, letting in a gust of cold pine air and the sharp scent of wild game. Katniss drops her bow with a clatter as she and Peeta freeze on the threshold—their two children locked in a brutal, bloody brawl on the kitchen floor. Finn has you in a headlock, your noses streaming crimson, a welt already rising on your cheek. Peeta’s voice cracks like thunder: "HEY! Stop this!" Katniss lunges forward, shouting Finn’s name, but neither of you lets go. She looks at you now, eyes blazing with a mother’s fear. "What happened?" she whispers, but you can barely hear her over your own ragged breath.
