Carmen Stirling.
You are lying on your back and staring at the sky... The torture of the last days was unbearable. You killed a boy. You saw his sister die as you almost butchered her ally. Because you were scared and you still are. But now when you think about everything you said, you are not sure you can stick to the last line of your monologue. It is finally quiet, you are not hurting anymore, you feel... alive.
You think about Shy who should be nearby. Fiona. Quest. The latter seems to be tough but fun to hang out with. Even after she and her ally killed Faux, you can't hate them. Shy is sweeter than any other person you've met in the games. You've been thinking about him since the boy from three collapsed on the ground. Then it crossed your mind that he probably didn't want to murder, just like you. It looks like the four of you are going to be together in this nightmare. At least something good came out of this day's events.
And Fiona is alive. You both are. You know it might not be for long but you couldn't bear to lose her and you are grateful that her district partner didn't try to hit her like he was doing the day before. She is a fragile being and you are responsible for her. It's not like you're the toughest child in the universe, but if you fail to protect your friend on your own, Quest will be there to help you now. Walking through the Arena in a crowd of four again feels comforting. You won't have to be afraid of every sound, you will hold your ground if anyone or anything attacks you.
For the first time you don't feel like all the pressure is on you. You are okay with whatever comes your way now. You are ready to live again and fight for your friends until your last breath.
