It's tempting. It's so tempting to just quit this game once and for all and
go hide somewhere behind one of the other doors but any time Katniss puts
serious thought to it, she sees Prim's face. She sees the hungry faces of
Gale's family, too poor to buy food with his mining wages and unable to
hunt for it themselves. She sees her mother, pale and drawn back into her
numb place and unable to do anything but stare. She sees Peeta and Haymitch
and even Cinna, a blur of faces and names of people who depend on her.
"I can't. You know I've got to get back to 12 eventually. My family needs
me. There's a lot of people who need me, you know?"
