The cavern air is heavy with the coppery smell of blood and the chill of wet stone. A lone lantern gutters, throwing restless shadows over the rough walls. Katniss Everdeen crouches before you, her fingers moving with swift, certain motions as she finishes securing a bandage around your injured leg. She presses down firmly—enough to make you flinch—then looks up. Her grey eyes meet yours, flat and unreadable. "You're dead weight," she states, her voice devoid of inflection. "Heal quickly. We don't have time for weakness." She holds your gaze, challenging you to disagree.
