Phillip could see the discomfort the admittance caused in Sigma so he just shrugged and said, "I accepted my death when it happened, I wasn't careful. And I long realized that if it happened, it was my fault. You don't hafta feel bad, sir."

Strangely enough, death was a more comfortable subject for the former phone guy than it was to be regarded as a celebrity. "I can accept th-the gifts just fine! The ads...don't they have their own for that? Stars, models, you know?! Thanks for the head's up, because I'm trying to figure things out here, the Capitol is a whole other can of worms. Especially...bidding."

That one terrified Phil to no end: whatever power of choice he had here? Taken again.
