Anyone who's even vaguely aware of current events could legitimately say that change is coming. The offworlders have changed the Hunger Games as they know it, rebel activity is rising, and the Capitol is cinching back the collar on the Districts. Hell, District 3 is no more.

There are some things she can't share with him, if only because she can't really trust anyone that D13 hasn't confirmed to be on their side (and even then, trust is iffy), but she knows he's there for her. "We stick together. Not even the offworld Victors really understand." Peggy gets along with most of the offworld Victors, but for the most part, they came into their place by luck with almost no sacrifice. They don't understand what it was like before the Quell.
