There is two.
The fire is flickering away from my heart.
It was a sheet of metal, ignited to be formed into the hollow, impenetrable case that it is now.
Gouged out eyes, severed appendages, blood and gore and screaming and crying and
I was ready
to do
it
all--
Then she began talking to me.
Wasn't just him now, it was her too.
Two voices whispering in my ear, the angel and the devil in the form of those who birthed me.
It was too much, but I tried to maintain focus on training hard for the Games regardless of what she was telling me.
I can do this. I can
destroy them
all--
But then there's hesitance.
I don't rush at the dummies with full speed.
Now I just stand there in thought.
What if this was a little girl on the verge of death?
What if this is my district partner?
What if it's another tribute who I end up having feelings ov--
...she was shot.
i don't know who.
i don't know why.
i don't knowidon'tknowi--
She taught me to be human.
She managed to touch my heart, break the metal shell, make it beat again.
But now she's not here anymore.
It's become paper, fragile and easy to tear at but don't light it up.
You can't this time.
You'll kill me--
There was two, now there is only one.
But I'm trying so hard to find another voice like her's these days.

There is two.
You have what it takes to be a Career in the Games, son.
You have what it takes to tear every other kid apart,
limb
from
limb.

all--
It's not something you should want to be a part of.
Dad's teaching you to be a Career but only to try and make sure you do come home in the case you are reaped.
You shouldn't want to be.
You shouldn't want to volunteer.
Find the kindness in your heart, my lovely boy.
Not everyone is worth seething hate.

Show no mercy.
They're all out to get you, this is no fight or flight situation, boy.
This is to the death.
Do you want to die?
Fight for your life.

all--
They're not out to get you.
Some of them train just like you, to try and increase their chances of coming home.
The others?
They never asked to be there.
We're only human, Quentin.
We're not heartless shells of existence only capable of vaporizing targets.
We all have
our
insecurities.

You can't.
