Dearest Sable,

Can he truly love you after pulling the presidential card on you and not regretting it? He called you a citizen, which means he thinks you no better than the district folk, only with a few additional benefits. The people of the Capitol, those who control the government and the Games are no more than citizens themselves—they just see themselves as better of course. Don't let Snow do to you what he did to Lucy Gray. I don't think you are being told the full story. I love you as a sister and I could never let anything happen to you, but my grief over Cillian is too much to bear alone. I don't think I can stay in 13 any longer—I will ensure my father is taken care of, and then I will leave—not forever, mind you, I could never abandon my father, just for a while. I dare not tell you where I am going lest you confide too much is Snow again. You underestimate his manipulative nature, yes, even against you. I warned you not to tell your husband of our whereabouts, I even promised to still be at your wedding—but you trusted Snow, a man you barely even know, more than me. I do not blame you if you do not write again, I fear I have overstepped my boundaries with the PRINCESS OF PANEM, but my grief makes me say things I will most likely forget in the morning. I will be Sad to see you go if you do, my dear friend.

Best,

Gillenia
