[Twenty-Five - Right Through The Eye]

Christmas time again.

[Katniss's voice is soft, and sad, as she plays with the laces on her boots. She's looking out the windows at the soft, white snow that is gathering on the ground.] This time of year always reminds me of Gale, and Peeta, and back home. When things were at their worst, they were still with me. I miss them, every single day.

[She sighed, quietly, before she got up and went to the window.] I know you're still here, my friends and my family. I've been thinking ... maybe I should come back to the Castle for the winter. I don't really want to but - I don't know.

[She touched the glass.] It seems like a bad time, to be alone.

Sometimes, I find hope hard to swallow.

It's supposed to be a platitude, something to encourage. It hasn't been my experience that it's all that true.

I find platitudes seem to do the exact opposite of their effect. Pretty lies tied with pretty ribbons, but it's all still rotten.

I've used enough of them when I had to. And they are lies, lies with a specific purpose.

Do you find specific lies comforting?
