Oh, so now killing things was weird? Firo sighed, wondering how to even explain it to this guy. While he'd tried his best to avoid killing other Tributes--part morals, part 'fuck you' to the Capitol--sometimes you just had to get bloody. And those times apparently weren't really determined by how much danger you'd put yourself in. What would he prove? Why, one of the most important things of all: that he wasn't a pushover. That was worth nearly dying for.

He hesitated, suddenly reminded that he did have someone. Not only the people watching him from the Capitol, but also Ennis back home. He still didn't know what would happen to her if he died and wasn't revived.

Because of that show of weakness, he snapped back all the more rudely, "What's it to you if I've got somebody or not?"
