I'm in a room with only Cinna, the elevator that will bring me to the arena and I'm in the Tributes' clothing for these Games.
"Here, this might help," he says.
He puts my mockingjay pin on my shirt, it's hidden by my jacket.
"I can't bet, but if I could, I'd bet on you, Girl on fire."

Cinna hugs me and I get into the tube when I hear 'ten seconds'. The elevator lifts after ten seconds and I'm lifted into the arena. Grass surrounds me, the Cornucopia is a good fifty feet away from me. Behind me, fifty feet away, is a forest. This is my kind of arena.
