Caesar then introduces Silas. As he walks up, Lilith catches a glimpse of an all white ball gown. It is being worn by none other than Miss Katniss Everdeen. Of course she's in a wedding dress with her wedding being postponed and all. Lilith wonders if her stylist Cinna has incorporated her famous flames into the look. He probably has.

"Silas, you have grown quite close to Miss Monroe, is that right?" Caesar asks.

"Yes, that is correct."

"How did that come about?"

"Well, while I was mentoring her for the 66th Games, I saw she had a fire in her, so I put all my faith into her. Then, when she won, I took her under my wing. I took care of her. She became my family."

Lilith didn't know that she was that important to Silas. His words almost make her want to cry, but she reminds herself of the large cameras in her face and resists.

"Oh, that's very sweet," Caesar smiles. The audience coos and murmurs in adoration. "How shocked were you when the two of you were chosen in the reaping?"

"I was more worried than shocked. I wasn't worried for myself, though, I was worried for her," Silas sighs.

"And why's that?"

"Because I can't lose her."

Caesar puts a sympathetic arm around Silas and gives him a warm smile. "I think I can speak for all of us when I say, we feel for you."

Silas gives a tight-lipped smile and his time is up.

Caesar flies through Wiress and Beetee's interviews. Beetee goes on and on about the legality of this year's Quarter Quell. Then Mags is up next.

"Next, we have our very own Capitol Darling, Finnick Odair!" Caesar announces. The audience goes crazy. They love Finnick, a little too much in Lilith's opinion. "Welcome back, Finnick."

"Good to be back, Caesar," Finnick politely replies.

"Now, in light of all this, I understand that you have a message for somebody out there, a special somebody," Caesar lets out a low, playful chuckle. Finnick is grinning like a dork. "Can we hear it?"

Finnick looks into the camera in front of him and gets serious. "My love, you have my heart for all eternity. If I die in that arena, my last thought will be of your lips."

The audience goes crazy. Many girls faint because they believe his message was to them, but Lilith knows who it was really to. It was to her. She spoke to him, then he decided to respond. This makes Lilith almost sure that they feel the same way, and she intends to keep the promise that she made on this stage. She will find a place for them to be happy together.

After more interviews, Johanna ends up getting furious on stage and cursing everyone. Lilith has to stop herself from chuckling as she does so. Johanna's anger is very justified, and Lilith feels that same anger. That anger is directed at the Capitol, although Lilith doesn't know if she'll ever be able to do anything about it.

Then, it's time for District Twelve, which includes the Girl on Fire. Katniss infuriates Lilith to a degree she can't understand. She was able to manipulate the Game Makers to crown two victors last year, something Lilith wishes she would've done to save William. Lilith also doesn't believe a word of the 'Star-crossed lovers' act: that's all it is, an act.

"Please, welcome to the stage, Katniss Everdeen, our Girl on Fire!" Caesar announces. The audience roars in response.

Here we go.
