“Well, if it comes to that, I’m on borrowed time anyway. Don’t think twice about using those darts.”
“You think I couldn’t?”
I remember all the years of meanness, but I also factor in how she’s transformed since the reaping. Defending Louella, helping Ampert, looking out for the Newcomers. “I think you couldn’t.”
“Thanks for that. I don’t think you could either.”

aaaa im not ready for her death

“Any food?”
“Oh, I’ve got piles of food, but tragically, no silverware.”
One side of her mouth curls up. She pulls a pocketknife and a fork twisted out of a piece of wire from her pocket.
“We’re covered.”

lmao maysilee is prepared

He's turning his grief into a reason to help someone else.:(

“We had wanted to die quick and proud with a minimum of suffering for our loved ones. I had wanted to outsmart the arena. But Mags had been concerned about her district partner. I don’t know if Maysilee’s still out there, but if she is, she might need me to help her die with her head up. And maybe some other Newcomers could use a hand as well.”

“Nameless here in this world. Dead and gone as I am about to be. Will I be her lost one for evermore? Will she be haunted by me for the rest of her life?”

“Have I truly broken the arena? Are the Games finished?
Far in the distance, beyond the meadow, the mountain erupts in a fountain of lethal gold, and I have my answer.
For me, the party is over.”

“Did you all want a party? I’ll give you a party!”
Lightning flashes, a clap of thunder booms. I dance around the berm, bellowing the first thing that comes to mind for all of Panem to hear. ”

DONT CELEBRATE TOO EARLY BRO YOU'LL JINX IT.

“ A burst of static dazzles, then suddenly, I’m looking straight up at the real sky. A gush of fresh air fills my lungs, and moonlight illuminates the chaos. It worked! We have done it! Me and Ampert and Beetee and District 9 and a slew of people I’ve never heard of — we have drowned the brain! We have broken the arena!”

BUT AT WHAT COST?
