I can't believe that the games are over. Somehow, I feel my... essence? The word escapes my, but somehow, I feel like there's something holding me in this life. Its preventing me from moving on from this horrible life that happened to catch me in the net of death. After my death, I expected to be free of the tyranny of the Capitol, yet something held me here. Finding out the problem will be key to me being free. Well, when the games ended with the victor presentation airing all over Panem, I found the reason that I'm still here. Saffron Lowe, who had been allies with Cerise, who helped end my life, is the reason I'm still here. Maybe I'll be able to catch Saffron before she runs off to do whatever it is a victor may do.

Storm would be so devastated to know that I'm dead. I tried so hard just to make it home for him. Its a good thing that I outlived him. Seeing the look on his face would kill me if he knew I died. I look around for Saffron and finally spot her. A range of emotions flood me. Anger, jealousy, envy, sadness, and finally regret. As much as holding a grudge sounded nice, I know that now is not the time to hold something so stupid. Maybe I want to hate her for everything she's done to me and my friends in the arena, but none of that truly matters now. She earned the right to live while I failed. Nothing will change that. I need to bury the hatchet with Saffron before I pass on. Its probably why I haven't done that yet.

I see Saffron approaching, but I doubt she's spotted me yet. With a sigh, I approach her. This reunion of sorts will be bittersweet. Hopefully she'll be able to hear every word I tell her. This conversation will be key to my passing on into the afterlife. "Saffron, congrats on winning and welcome home. You deserved to win. I'm so terribly sorry for the suffering I caused you." I don't know what her reaction will be to me if she can even hear me. I would love to get this over with. Maybe she wont hear a single word. It would definitely help calm the nerves that I feel right now.
