Love your ego, you won't feel a thing, always number one, the pen with a bent wrist crooked king, sign away our peace, for your war, one word and it's over ... How does it feel now to watch it burn, burn, burn?
He thinks about her as he signs the terms of surrender - Katniss, the girl who was on fire, now reduced to ashes. He has agents (even when all is lost) who report that she has not left her rooms since her sister's death. One pawn lost, another backed into a corner

Somehow this is darker than I thought. Thank you! I love, love, love the darkness of this. I love how destroyed Katniss is and how Snow is triumphing in his own perverted ways anyway. I love that you highlight that.

Thank you! It's always been fascinating to me how burnt out Katniss is at the end of everything. And then these two leaders playing with lives and power, catching her up in their wake. Snow uses children as a shield; Alma kills them. People who base their lives around power creep me out, no lie. But it's like a trainwreck - you can't stop looking.
I almost think Alma might've gotten more out of Katniss if she'd actually invested in her at all. If there'd been someone who'd said, "Hey, just because you're here doesn't mean that the war's over. Get a job, go to school, do something." I think about 90% of Katniss' problems after she got to District 13 were because she had nothing to do. Of course, it left her manipulable, but Coin wasn't thinking long-term.
