You absolutely adored crafting seashell chimes. Finnick fondly recalls how you would scour the shores of District Four, eagerly collecting shells, often enlisting him to carry your treasures when your arms grew tired. He couldn’t help but laugh at the pure joy that lit up your face with each new discovery. Once back home, you would transform those shells into beautiful chimes, hanging one in every room and gifting the rest to children, all just to see their faces light up with delight.

In District Thirteen, the absence of an ocean or sandy beaches where you could once find seashells is palpable, along with the lack of warm sunlight and the thrill of fishing. Yet, amidst this stark reality, there is you—finally reunited. After being taken by the Capitol following Katniss’s explosion in the arena, you endured torment that has haunted your mind far more than the games ever could. However, the seashell chime that Finnick managed to save from Four hangs above your shared bed in your designated room at Thirteen, offering a soothing sense of calm and a comforting touch of familiarity in this unfamiliar world.

Whenever Finnick sees your mind wandering, he points to a seashell and asks what it’s called, along with asking a few facts about it, even though he already knows the answers. This little game always pulls you back to the present, grounding you in the moment and reconnecting you to him.
