If anything shut her up, it'd be that. Fuck. Of course the people he infects come back. She even met up with Howard at that stupid party. She just -- the connection wasn't there.

"Jesus, R," she sputters, a little choke coming up and stealing more words from her. Are we still home? Someplace where they have the cure, where this isn't a problem anymore?
No. She knows better. But. Goddammit. The whole world. A little give in skin at a time and -- how do they know it works? How do they know he won't just be a faster zombie?
"Change is great. Change is. Awesome." She smiles and rubs at an eye nonchalantly, though her other hand lingers on him. She's not gonna choke here. Not where there's people who'd kill to film her crying. Give other tributes the idea she's weak. But -- Dad. And the stadium. Field trips outside the walls. "You better survive that Arena for a bit, huh? You gotta enjoy this."
