The only thought that ran passed my mind as I stand on the beam, is Coral.  She sacrificed herself for me, and now she's gone. I must win for her, for our district. My injured knee is a huge problem, so I'll wait for the other tributes to do the killing. Although I feel upset about my fallen ally, I'll use this and change it to determination.

Another sponsor drone drifted towards me, which was usual. My mentor probably has a bunch of citizens sending in sponsors for me. It was probably bread or water again, but hopefully, they can give me something actually useful this time. The drone strangely doesn't have anything attached to it, which caught my attention.
Really, Capitol? Nothing? , I think to myself as I walk towards the drone, mysteriously, the drone flew away from me. Then the same drone flew back to me, but this time with increased speed. It flew by my body, almost knocking me over the beam if I haven't swung it away with my arm. But then the drone came back at me, and when I lean in with my silver trident, I lose my balance. My bad leg was in a bad position, and then all hell broke loose. I slip off of the thin beam and went falling headfirst down onto the far ground. As I made contact with my head, everything went black. That's when I knew I'll be seeing Coral soon.

Placement: 5th
