etely　unhinged。　I

wonder　now　if　Cato　might　not　be　entirely　sane。

The　sky　lights　up　with　the　seal；　and　I　watch　Foxface　shine　in　the　sky　and　then　disappear　from　the　world　forever。　He　hasnˇt　said　it；　but　I　donˇt　think　Peeta　felt　good　about　killing　her；　even　if　it　was　essential。　I　canˇt　pretend　Iˇll　miss　her；　but　I　have　to　admire　her。　My　guess　is　if　they　had　given　us　some　sort　of　test；　she　would　have　been　the　smartest　of　all　the　tributes。　If；　in　fact；　we　had　been　setting　a　trap　for　her；　I　bet　sheˇd　have　sensed　it　and　avoided　the　berries。　It　was　Peetaˇs　own　ignorance　that　brought　her　down。　Iˇve　spent　so　much　time　making　sure　I　donˇt　underestimate　my　opponents　that　Iˇve　forgotten　itˇs　just　as　dangerous　to　overestimate　them　as　well。

That　brings　me　back　to　Cato。　But　while　I　think　I　had　a　sense　of　Foxface；　who　she　was　and　how　she　operated；　heˇs　a　little　more　slippery。　Powerful；　well　trained；　but　smart？　I　donˇt　know。　Not　like　she　was。　And　utterly　lacking　in　the　control　Foxface　demonstrated。　I　believe　Cato　could　easily　lose　his　judgment　in　a　fit　of　temper。　Not　that　I　can　feel　superior　on　that　point。　I　think　of　the　moment　I　sent　the　arrow　flying　into　the　apple　in　the　pigˇs　mouth　when　I　was　so　enraged。　Maybe　I　do　understand　Cato　better　than　I　think。

Despite　the　fatigue　in　my　body；　my　mindˇs　alert；　so　I　let　Peeta　sleep　long　past　our　usual　switch。　In　fact；　a　soft　gray　day　has　begun　when　I　shake　his　shoulder。　He　looks　out；　almost　in　alarm。　¨I　slept　the　whole　night。　Thatˇs　not　fair；　Katniss；　you　should　have　woken　me。〃

I　stretch　and　burrow　down　into　the　bag。　¨Iˇll　sleep　now。　Wake　me　if　anything　interesting　happens。〃

Apparently　nothing　does；　because　when　I　open　my　eyes；　bright　hot　afternoon　light　gleams　through　the　rocks。　¨Any　sign　of　our　friend？〃
