Different Perspectives

Bringing honor for District 2, becoming victor, seemed to be the only thing that kept Cato going and he would do anything to get it. Lælia couldn't be anymore different. Being the daughter of a victor the 52nd Hunger Games, she knew the price that had to be paid in exchange for the fame and glory. He didn't.

"Trust me, Cato, there's far more to it than you know. You'll be different after... after everything."

"I won't. Not when I win. Look at the other victors, Enobaria, she's the same, isn't she?"

"Look at my mom, Cato. She isn't the same. The others seem the same because they entered as monsters and came out as monsters. Cato... you aren't a monster. I don't want you to become one."
