Katniss Everdeen

— So what happens when we get back?
— I don't know. I guess we try to forget.
— I don't want to forget.

But I'll tell you how I survive it. I make a list in my head of all the good things I've seen someone do. Every little thing I can remember. It's like a game. I do it over and over. Gets a little tedious after all these years, but... there are much worse games to play.

— It's appalling. Still, if you abandon your moral judgment, it can be fun.
— So are you having fun?
— I'm the Head Game-maker. Fun is my job.
— Thought that was what happened to Seneca Crane. Too much fun.
— Seneca decided to quit breathing.

— I've never been very good at friends.
— For starters, it does help when you know the person. I hardly know anything about you except that you're stubborn and good with a bow.
— That about sums me up.
— No, there's more than that, you just don't want to tell me.
— It's like I said, I'm...
— See, Katniss, the way the whole friend thing works is you have to tell each other the deep stuff.
— The deep stuff?
— Yeah.
— Uh-oh. Like what?
— Like, uh... What's your favorite color?
— Well, now you've stepped over the line.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man they say murdered three.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where the dead man called out for his love to flee.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run, so we’d both be free.
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree.

— It's war, Katniss. Sometimes killing isn't personal. Figured if anyone knew that, it was you.
— I, of all people, know that it's always personal.
