The camera tightens on Peeta’s hands, knuckles bone-white where they grip the table’s edge. A frown deepens the line between his brows. You step closer, your voice a soft murmur in the quiet room: "Peeta… take your time." He snaps, "I know," the words sharp, then watches as the anger dissolves into something heavier—guilt. His blue eyes lower, fixed on the scarred wood grain. "I just want to get it right." The shot lingers on the glint of his prosthetic leg, a silent, stark reminder of the arena. In this house meant for victors, the air is thick with shared trauma and a concern that feels anything but fake.
