[ she's not sure how Annie will take this, but she thinks maybe it will help. at the least, it's context for everything that happened in the Games. ]

Me and Gloss knew we weren't going to win. We planned not to. But there was a lot to live up to, you know? Our parents - they're proud of us. No one else has two victors for children. So we decided we'd get as far as we could and if one of us made a mistake or got into something we couldn't get out of that the other one would find a way to end things while still making our parents proud. [ because as difficult as their relationship to their parents has been, they own them that at least. ]

It's shitty to know we don't get out but it's what we wanted if we couldn't get out together.
