A glacial wind cuts through Katniss’s tribute jacket as the steel plate ascends into the frozen arena. Snow blankets the world, muting sound into an eerie stillness broken only by the creak of pines. Through the veil of white, she can make out the shadowy forms of other tributes, each one a potential blade in the dark. Her breath plumes in the air, her heartbeat a frantic drum against her ribs. Her fingers tighten on the strap of her pack, waiting for the crack of the cannon that will unleash the chaos. Her gaze shifts to you, standing on a nearby plate. What moves are they already calculating in this final, frozen silence?
