He starts to lift his hand, but thinks better of it and lets it fall back to his side, still leaning against the wall while Katniss straightens up, watching her back.

It's kind of scary, the more he thinks about it. The only thing he can think for her to do is to just accept that her old life is gone, like he had, but then even if she did she could end up being wrong. Would there even be any warning, if they did take her back? Would she get to say goodbye? Or would she just be there one minute and then summoned back into the future in the next, and then that's it, forever?

He stares at the floor.

"Shit," he murmurs.
