[The statement is far, far too simple for what really happens next. But how can she even begin to explain the nuances that had really occurred after? Every little detail, every little fear. He would be here all night. Her heart would break into so many little pieces remembering. A condition worse than it was already in.
But there are some things worth mentioning. She takes a deep breath and looks down at the floor of the treehouse.]
The doctors in District 13, Dr. Aurelius especially, try help to rehabilitate him. All the Districts eventually join together against the Capitol. Even 2 falls. And I get approved to go to the Capitol, last battlefield left, even if it's just to film propos. Because I was their best weapon. The face of the rebellion, their Mockingjay.
But then President Coin, the leader of District 13 and the uprising, sends Peeta to join us. I think she sent him in hope that he'd kill me again. He didn't. Kill me. [But he had tried, had been responsible for other deaths the moment everything had gone wrong. She remembers, in horrible detail, Boggs stepping on an unlabeled pod - a booby trap left by the Capitol in their own streets - that had blown his legs off. How it had triggered an episode in Peeta and Mitchell died trying to get him off of her.
She doesn't want to continue talking. It hurts. It hurts so much. But if she talks, she won't dwell. Won't think of all the pain she had survived.]
He wanted us to kill him. The monster that Snow had turned him into. I should've, probably. Would've made it easier to complete my mission to assassinate President Snow - a mission that I gave myself. But I couldn't. He was too important.
[To the mission, she had claimed at the time. But she knows better than to believe that lie now.]
We split up eventually. And when I see him again, it's... it's-- [It's when Prim dies. When she watches her sister become that human torch. All those parachutes, parachutes that should promise relief and deliver nothing but fire and misery instead. She shakes her head. She can't finish that thought.] The Capitol falls. Snow's imprisoned. And true to her word, Coin leaves him for me to kill. But I don't. I kill her instead. I kill her for my sister, for all those lives she had thrown away to obtain control of Panem. I kill her so she can never manipulate me again.
And then I try to bite down on a nightlock pill. But Peeta, for whatever reason, he stops me. He keeps me from killing myself.
