Peeta isn't oblivious to the door here. In fact, earlier this month he'd inadvertently stepped through it, finding himself in the arena with Finnick again. He's been struggling with nightmares more frequently since he got back to the hotel, but in his daily life it comes through more in the exhaustion on his face. He knows that this place is temporary. He's always known that it's temporary, but he's attempted to make the most of it while he can.

He's wrapping up a morning spent in the kitchen when he catches a glimpse of someone in the garden. He takes a second look and sees that it's Johanna. He steps outside, approaching without any attempt at being quiet (as if he could manage quiet if he tried). He knows better than to sneak up on a victor.

"Johanna?"
