[She had enough visible scars on her body. Nearly two years later and evidence of the skin grafts and burn scars still remained on her body. Evidence of her sister's death; Katniss' own inability to protect her as she had promised. At least the majority of the scars she had taken on here in Luceti had been internal. Invisible to all those around her. Or, at least, would be if she didn't continuously give in to her own self-loathing and self-despair.
Being away hadn't made it any better. It only put off the inevitable. Facing people she probably owed apologies to, explanations for that damned shift. Couldn't they just forget? Not say a word regarding everything that had happened? Matters that were completely out of their control.
Considering their last conversation, the one before the shift, Katniss wouldn't have considered talking to Nel again. It hadn't exactly gone very well. So she blinked in surprise at hearing the voice, seeing the face of someone who had been family not very long ago.]
Thank you. I- [Should apologize. Didn't know how.] It's good to see you, too.
