“Looking at him, I can’t help thinking that all the little ones seem to end up with me. Louella. Lou Lou. Ampert. I can’t keep a one of them safe. Why do they flock to me?”

no stop if he dies im done. (ik hes gonna die its js im not ready)

“When I hook Wyatt’s token around my neck, it’s like having both him and Maysilee with me.”

Oh, get the gun.

“I examine the necklace she wove to securely carry Wyatt’s scrip coin. She spent most of her training hours helping the Newcomers display their tokens with pride, when she could have been learning skills to protect herself. Whatever else she may be, Maysilee Donner is not a turncoat.”

“Then Lou Lou, pictured with her snake. I wonder if, anywhere in Panem, a family member or playmate recognizes her for who she really is. The McCoys must know she’s a fake.”

my chest hurts.

“The thought of Capitol hands disposing of her infuriates me. And like my Louella, I cannot give her up without a fight. I lift her into my arms and head into an area of the densest trees I can spot.”

“Lou Lou won’t be on the hill with me and Louella. They can’t send back two bodies to District 12 without exposing their incompetence. So where will you go, little girl? Back to 11? Into Capitol soil? Or will they incinerate your body and leave no trace of you behind? Either way, mine will be the last touch of someone who cares about you.”

IM SO MADDDDDD AAAAAA LOU LOU AND WE DONT EVEN KNOW HER REAL NAME IS I HATE SNOWWWWW

Lou Lou was clapping when they finally made sparks. She got excited over flowers that reminded her of home. She curled up like a kitten when she was tired. 🥹
She was still just a little girl, even in the arena.

AND THEN THIS HAPPENS.

The cannon fires to confirm her death as her body goes limp.”
I lean down and whisper into her bad ear. A personal message to the Gamemakers. “You did this to her. This is who you are.”
And then for Lou Lou, I say the thing she no longer can. “Murderers.”

IM NOT GONNA RECOVER THIS. EVER. ITS LIKE RUE I CANT.

“she reaches the hillock first, plowing into the greenery, crushing handfuls of the leaves and burying her face in the red blossoms.”

SHE WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE HER FLOWERS THEN... FFAAAAAHH

“There is nothing I can do but watch, helpless again. Just as I was to save Louella. For a moment, the two merge, Lou Lou and Louella. She’s just one pigtailed kid I’ve known her whole life, and I would do anything to spare her this.”

I AM NOT OK I AM NOT OK AAAAAA

“But nothing’s only anything in this arena, and when the blood begins running from her eyes, her nose, her mouth, the last reminding me of our dear president, I know I’m wrong.”

NOOOOO AAAA BUT I CANT SHE CANT DIE..

“The seeded bread, the candle smoke, and now these flowers — all of them must transport Lou Lou back home somehow.”

“Lou Lou gives a tremendous yawn and, just like that, she curls up like a kitten and falls asleep. It’s so fast, I wonder if the Gamemakers are drugging her again, but maybe she just hasn’t gotten much rest in here.”

I LOVE LOU LOU OMG

“She sets the final rock, a long, muddy-gray crystal in front of me. Quartz, maybe? I take a vicious swipe at it, drawing the rock back for good measure.
A spray of sparks flies, letting me know we’ve found a live one.

Lou Lou claps and I let out a huff of relief.”

THEIR LITTLE TEAMWORK MOMENT. I CAN'T.

“When Lou Lou shows too much interest in a raspberry bush, I distract her with another apple and slip off to a nearby stream.”

SHES TOO PRECIOUS I CANT.

I wet her handkerchief and wipe her face clean. “Come on,” I tell her. “Let’s find your snake.”
This suggestion perks her up and she bounces to her feet.

SO CUTE. LOU LOU AND HER SNAKE AGAINST THE WORLD LOL

“She starts rooting around in my pack and comes out with a potato. I gently pry it from her hand. “For later. For supper.”

POOR BABY STILL HUNGRY IM NOT READY FOR HER DEATH STOPPP

what if Haymitch isn't prioritizing his mission over everyone else's survival because he doesn't care about them, but because he believes completing the mission could save more people in the long run?

Now that Lou Lou is with him, he's having second thoughts about whether to protect her or prioritize his mission. I understand that he has something important to accomplish, but why didn't he at least try to make sure the others had a better chance of surviving before leaving them? I don't expect him to protect everyone, but I wish he had done a little more for the people he brought together.

IDK but Haymitch recruiting everyone into an alliance and encouraging them to work together, only to leave them behind to pursue his own mission, bothers me. He never actually promised to protect all of them, but he could have tried to help them find somewhere safe before leaving.

“Find Haymitch.”
“Aa!” My head bashes into a tangle of berry branches at the whispered voice.
“Find Haymitch.”
A pair of little hands wrap around my boots and Lou Lou’s face, splattered in dry blood and dirt
“Found him,” she says.

aaaa he shouldve stayed with the newcomers atleast then split up until they were safe :(

“I wonder how Wyatt died and immediately feel certain he was protecting Lou Lou, the way no one had ever protected him. Including me.”

:(

“All I want is to be home in my bed in 12, with Ma there to take care of me. To spoon me sips of chicken back broth and pile every quilt on my shaking body and put a goose feather pillow under my head.”

:(

“Only Lou Lou seems unbothered. She catches sight of the token that one of the girls, Chicory, wears — a flower woven of grass — and fixates on it. Then she begins to make little hand motions as she sings in a breathy voice:”

oh:(

“Lou Lou, on the other hand, eats a stack of pancakes as high as her head and fistfuls of bacon, confirming that she’s too far gone to know what the next few days hold for her. That’s a blessing, I guess. She looks so defenseless without her snake.”

Someone get lou lou her snake :(

“If there is anything after the life I’m about to lose, will I be with her again? Like the guy in her song, I’d sure like to know. But the Raven isn’t giving the answer either of us wants to hear.”
