There had been the explanation the red-headed woman had given, equating realities to songs. She still didn't entirely grasp the concept but she thinks for a moment that it might be something like this. Prim had been there in District 13 with Katniss and their mother. Even the damned cat had managed to make it.

But Prim's here now and if they never go back... She hadn't really thought about it that much. She never considered it a possibility. Games don't last forever. Or, at least, you don't remain in the arena forever. She doesn't know what might happen if Prim doesn't return to Panem. She doesn't know if it's even possible.

Maybe it's worth her cooperation, though. Going along with the game to protect her sister. It's something to look into.

She smooths Prim's hair and nods. "Maybe."
