Re: District Seven
Re: District Seven
"In order to grant any hope in a system, an even amount of despair must be placed somewhere else, as the price. To bring something akin to peace to this world, a group of people, then, must shoulder the brunt of the world's curses."
Homura stared at the party, watching the District citizens revel and smile. Quietly, her hand went up to her hair.
"Before this, it was the Reaped Tributes of the Districts, forced to fight in the Arenas, who bore the curse. As a result, there was a level of suffering and sadness which accompanied those families who lost their children. Either to death...or to victory. Now, of course, they no longer have to shoulder the sacrifice. No longer tainted by the uncertainty of whether their children would be taken from them through the Games, of course they have been given a happiness that they have not known for many years - perhaps some have never known it."
Her hand slide through her hand, flipping it into the air.
"But what these people do not understand - something that you, perhaps, can, as one who has been through the Games - is that the system has not truly changed at all. They are still just as monitored and regulated as before. The only difference is that the ones who bear the curses has shifted, been outsourced. This 'change' in the system thus allows the Capitol the means to in fact continue the system as before, taking away one qualm of the Districts, without actually conceding anything substantial on their end."
Her hair settled from the flip.
"The children will still die from the circumstances which Panem has foisted on them. They simply will not die from the Games. But that is all. Still the people here...will cling to it because it is what they want to hear. It is what they believe they truly and fully want, and as long as they believe it...nothing more will change."
At this Homura turned to Johanna.
"If I am out of place, of course, please tell me so. And I shall apologize for my impudence."
