Gale Quote by Suzanne Collins
““He asks Peeta if, given tonight’s demonstration, he has any parting thoughts for Katniss Everdeen. At the mention of my name, Peeta’s face contorts in effort. “Katniss . . . how do you think this will end? What will be left? No one is safe. Not in the Capitol. Not in the districts. And you . . . in Thirteen . . .” He inhales sharply, as if fighting for air; his eyes look insane. “Dead by morning!””
