An advantage. He doesn't know if there's any advantage to be had, really. For all intensive purposes, they accomplish everything they set out to do. They overthrow the government. Win the war. It's just not without a cost. One that, logistically, they had all known they were going to have to pay.

He feels so off kilter, so unlike himself, that it's startling. He's having trouble reacting properly.

"We win the war," Finnick answers. "You and Annie are tortured by the Capitol. I die." He doesn't bother with building up to the topic or easing into it. Between Johanna and him, there aren't any bandages. They've both seen too much to bother shying away from the horrors. Winning the war is the optimum outcome; the torture and his death are the worst results.

And in that regard, a very selfish regard, he feels like the only possible advantage for Annie being brought here from so far into their future is a personal one. So they can spend more time together. There's nothing that will make the war easier or less violent, but there is a chance that he and Annie can spend one more night together.
