Viola was on the side playing her violin as she stared at Corio as Lucy was singing. "♪ Everyone's born as clean as a whistle. As fresh as a daisy. And not a bit crazy. Staying that way's a hard row for hoeing. As rough as a briar. Like walking through fire. This world, it's dark. This world, it's scary. I've taken some hits. So no wonder I'm wary. It's why I need you. You're as pure as the driven. Snow. Oh, Oh. Cold and clean. Swirling over my skin. You clothe me. You soak right in. This world, it's cruel with troubles aplenty. You asked me two reasons I got three and twenty. For why I trust you. You're as pure as the driven. Snow. ♪" Viola was confused on why Corio was walking away making her put the violin away and follow him.

She walked through the doors as she walked up to Corio saying, "Hey, where'd..." A gun was aimed at her making everyone keep their arms out. "You invite the whole town, Plinth?" Billy then said, "She's okay, Spruce. She's joining us too. She's with me." Viola seemed confused as she looked at Corio when Mayfair said, "I think I'm done listening to your explanations. She's not going anywhere. And neither are you. My pa's gonna string y'all up for this." Then Corio shot her, making Viola start shivering in fear when Corio walked up to her. He put his forehead on her forehead and said, "Look at me. Look at me. Look at me. Look at me. You're gonna go back out on that stage and you're gonna sing. You're gonna sing like nothing is wrong. And I'm gonna find us a way out of this, okay?" Viola nodded; she walked away controlling her breathing.

She went over to Lucy and said, "I'm going to go with Corio back to his home." Lucy grabbed her hand and said, "What why?!" Viola looked over at Lucy and said, "I love him, Lucy."

Days went by as Viola and Lucy stood on the side. Viola whistled as she saw Corio. It made him come over, hiding behind the wall grabbing her by the waist and said, "Are you okay?" Viola looked up at Corio, her hand on his chest as she said, "The mayor's going to get me killed, Coriolanus. He already thinks it was me. Billy Taupe, Mayfair, both dead. If they catch Spruce now, or Sejanus talks..." Corio too her face and said, "Sejanus won't talk." Viola shook her head and quickly said, "How do you know that? They torture the people they catch for information here. Even Peacekeepers." Corio kept apologizing, making excuses when Viola said, "I have to run. North. Like Billy Taupe and the others talked about. Away from the districts. If I stay here now, I'm as good as dead, too." Corio asked, "What about the Covey?" Viola shook her head and said, "They can look after each other. I just wanted to say goodbye. Before I left with Lucy."

"I'll come with you." Corio said, making Viola confused and said, "What about your family?" Corio shooke his head saying, "Look. I just learned Hoff is sending me to 2 for Officer Training but none of that matters now. It's all Panem. As soon as they find that gun, they'll hang me. No matter which district I'm i
