[Katniss has taken to wandering the turtle when she's not giving lessons on how to deal with rations. It's not like she has anything better to do.
When she first sees Cinna, she's convinced she's started to hallucinate. It wouldn't be the first time, after all. She resolutely turns her back and stumbles off, breaking into a run shortly after before he can see her. There's a choked sound in her ears, and it takes her a couple of seconds to realise that she's the one making it.
But if Finnick can be alive, why can't Cinna? Why can't - why can't anyone? Katniss presses her hands against a wall and leans her weight into them, closing her eyes and trying to speak. Slowly, her body turns back in the direction of what might not be a hallucination after all, and her feet start to walk, dragging the rest of her with them. She ends up nearby, too scared to get closer in case he disappears]
Are you real? [Her voice is small. She feels small.]
