Emily studies the picture, frowning a little as she sees before her just two normal boys, both caught up in the machinations of the Capitol just like her. It troubles her to see Quintus as a child even more than it does his brother, stripped of his title and uniform and just a regular Districter trying to get by.

Lurio too looks nothing like the brutish, bloodthirsty Careers that Emily associates with the top Districts, but just a normal boy wanting to do good for himself and his family. And how could she blame him for that, really?

"He looks like a nice, good boy," she says quietly. "I'm sorry you lost him."
