Sometimes all a person needs is a break from reality. It's easy to get lost in the midst of all the hustle and bustle of going through the motions, and right now, Vallen is tired of living like a puppet doing every desire of the Capitol. It's impossible to know what's next, and having found the roof just the night before makes everything a little better. Of course, it's something that every tribute has to know about, but maybe it can give him a sense of freedom again, and maybe it's possible that nobody else ventured to the rooftop tonight.

For a moment, he feels as though his plan is working perfectly, but as soon as he opens the door, Vallen realizes he's not alone. Someone is standing on the roof -

"You're just the guy to answer my question."

Oh. It sort of catches him off guard, and Vallen thinks about turning back and pretending that this didn't happen, but why make an enemy of someone before the games truly begin?

"Do you think we'll ever figure out a way to fly?"

It might be easier said than done because all the work it would take just to make someone aerodynamic enough to support themselves in the air, but humans aren't like birds or other winged creatures.

"If you were going to create something to make it possible, what would you invent?"

Running his fingers through his hair, Vallen focuses on the sky. If he could fly, he would leave this place and never return. Finding a place to hide would be easy if he had the wings to carry him far away. But is it possible? Would he ever invent it? Would someone come up with a way?

"I would like to believe that one day we'll figure out a way to fly." Conversations are starting to become easier for him, but it's especially helpful that someone asked about inventing things, and that's far more important than actually trying to talk about the world, or anything else that's around him.

"I would create an exoskeleton. Not just any exoskeleton though. It has to be one that is capable of forming wings, and it also has to be light enough that whoever is using it wouldn't just fall out of the sky. The arms would have to look like the wings of a bird, and since we don't have that skeletal structure, it would be fun trying to figure out a way to make it work."

It wouldn't be hard especially for those who enjoy doing robotics.

"What about you? What would you create?"
