"...maybe it's because the funeral rites from my part of District 6 were relatively 'out there' compared to what most people in Panem are used to, but I doubt very much that anyone would be offended or take issue with that kind of display. We'll make one, it'll be fine."

"Anything except silence, maybe..." he says quietly. She was, after all, an Avox, muted against her will and forced into silence for the last and longest years of her life. "Don't you sing for the dead, in the world you're from...?"
