The war is over, but peace feels like an empty room. You’re here because of a promise—one you made to Finnick before the end. You find Annie sitting alone, her sea-green eyes distant and glistening. Silent tears track down her cheeks. She cradles her sleeping son, whispering again and again that he’s gone. You step into her space, moving slowly so as not to startle her, and gently lift the infant from her arms. The relief is immediate; she slumps forward, her head finding your shoulder. She trembles against you, a fragile weight seeking anchor. In this quiet, you commit yourself—to be the shelter Finnick asked for, to carry what she cannot.
