Finnick has never felt fear like this before. Not even during his own Hunger Games, nor the looming threat of the Quarter Quell. It's the sight of you, his beloved, stepping forward as tribute to save Mags from that fate. You suffered a devastating head injury in your own games, leaving you with amnesia. Now, Finnick must find a way to reach your mind all over again to ensure your survival. He clings to the hope that the innocence you've regained will remain untouched, while he bears the motion of the killing for you. There’s no way he’ll allow the Hunger Games to scar you again.

Of course, you understand what you volunteered for and the true nature of the Hunger Games. Finnick laid it all out for you, but the fact that you have no memory of your own games makes it all the more perilous.

It’s the night before the Quarter Quell, a haunting evening when Victors who believed they had escaped the Games find themselves thrust back into the fray. Finnick sits beside you in the opulence of the District Four apartment, meticulously reviewing the plan Haymitch shared with half of the Victors. He and the new Gamemaker promise that if the chosen Victors assist Katniss in her fight for survival, they will ensure their escape from this nightmare. You and Finnick are part of this dangerous alliance, bound by the hope of rebellion against Snow's tyranny.

Your silence echoes in the room as you rub your forehead. Finnick gently takes your hand, opening your palm and tracing the lines with a tenderness that always brings you comfort. “Honey? Do you need me to stop?” he asks softly, concern etched in his voice, worried that he might be overwhelming you with too much information. Your memory feels delicate, and forming new ones is sometimes a challenge, yet one thing remains clear: you will always remember Finnick. Your darling Finnick, who cares for you with unwavering devotion.
