"But I have family too." I know. I don't want to cause a fifth family to feel pain. I stay silent for the moment. I don't want to make a career angry as she can easily turn around and cause a great amount of damage to me. I'm sort of afraid of her, but I can't let her know that. I can't let anyone know I'm afraid of them. It's just, I know everyone wants to see their family again, but I seriously doubt her family needs the winnings. Who am I to judge though?
I shake my head again, and I take another step away. I know that I'm living on borrowed time. Maybe she's just toying with me, but I can't let that happen. I know it takes one wrong move, one loss of concentration, and it's why I try to keep the rage burning inside me at a minimum. She's standing in my way, and I'm standing in her way, and I want nothing more than to push her to the side so I can face whoever is waiting on the other side. Four kills is a lot. Can I make it five? Can I make it six? Can I actually win this? I want to believe that I can. I've come so far, but I'm still so far away.
"I know you have family and friends you want to see again." It's important to acknowledge what she's saying, to make sure she feels heard. Let people think I care. I've been alone for so long, and in a way, I'm grateful for it, but at home, my family needs me. They need this more than anyone else, and in this moment, that's what matters. "We all do." It's as though a light bulb goes off in my head, and maybe I take a different angle. Maybe I push her. Maybe this will make her frazzled. That's the plan anyway. "What's life like in district one? Rich and luxurious like it's made out to be?" I step forward allowing myself to get close for just a moment because it's a necessity.
