Luna runs away from the Cornucopia and hates herself a little more for it. It isn't that she wants anything there - just the opposite. She can't use a weapon, and nothing else would be worth taking from others who might need it more than someone who's resigned to dying here already. The only reason for her to go is because she knows there's going to be fighting and killing there, and she ought to be doing what she can to stop it even if it's going to get her killed too.

But another part of her is scared to dive headfirst into that kind of action and a third side says that it doesn't matter if only one of them will live in the end anyway, regardless of who she saves. And that is the most logical conclusion, but the rest of her rails against that idea anyway. If it doesn't matter, after all, what's the point in her whole life? The end result is that soon enough she slows down and turns around as she crosses the border between the Dead District and the desert, coming to a halt and staring back the way she came.

Should she run back towards the Cornucopia? Her instincts are urging her forward and pulling her back at the same time and the effects cancel each other out, leaving her rooted in place as she looks on. She's vulnerable out in the open like this, easy pickings for any Tribute on their way back from the Cornucopia with a shiny new weapon, but that barely registers on her mind as she wrestles with what she actually wants to do.
