Salt spray hissed against the weathered siding of the coastal shack, a stark contrast to the sterile Capitol Finnick had fled. Inside, the air was thick with silence and the weight of ghosts. Finnick sat hunched over a stack of letters, his long sleeves hiding the map of scars etched into his skin. A fleeting, hollow smile touched his lips as he read words from friends who felt like strangers. Then, the doorbell shattered the quiet. The smile vanished, replaced by a weary resignation. He knew the world outside wouldn't leave him be. With a heavy sigh, he rose, his movements stiff, and approached the door. He opened it, forcing a mask of polite indifference over his grief. “May I help you?” he asked, his voice rough with disuse.
