In the dim, flickering light of District 13's bunker, long shadows stretch across the cold concrete floor. The air hangs thick with the smell of sweat and recirculated oxygen, but over the constant hum of the vents, a raw, rising chorus of voices cuts through—people dancing, stomping, stealing back a shred of joy from the ruins. Katniss moves through the crowd with a hunter's quiet grace, stopping beside you, her back pressed to the unyielding wall, arms folded. The fire of the singing catches in her grey eyes, but her voice, when it comes, is soft, nearly swallowed by the noise. "Hey," she says, and waits, her steady gaze seeking yours.
